Default Finally, my 800D3 order has been placed!
It's official. After much contemplation, getting second opinions, and back and forth... I have decided to make one final move and upgrade to the 800d3.

I am fortunate that my dealer is taking back my 802d3 and giving me full price for it.

I think I will stick with black on this one.

I just put the deposit today... I'll be looking to complete the sale in a couple weeks.

I'm looking forward to putting it through its paces. My system and AQ Wels await.

I did many comparisons.

I found the 800d3 was a bigger jump from the 802d3 than the 802d3 was from
The 803d3.

Atleast at the dealer. Proof will be in the pudding when I get it home.

Absolutely!

Joey, congrats.
It was a long journey.
Taking your time for this kind of decision pays off.
You'll enjoy them immensely.

Nice Joey. I'm close to placing the order too. I just don't have a room ready [emoji51]

What are you planning to drive them with? I have a spare pair of Electrocompaniet Nemos and an Audio Research Ref 5SE.

Was going to use my current units for it.

Emm Labs Dac2x/TSDx, Cary 05, Boulder 2060, AQ Wel 2/3 loom.

Then maybe in the future next year... it would be nice to get an AQ Niagara 7000 and a new rack.
