Default Experience?

I am going to audition, in my system, an Aqua La Scala MKII Optologic during November. It is described as warm and musical. Should be an interesting comparison to my K03x/ Cybershaft OP17 clock combo.

I have only read about it, but hear good things and it’s Italian [emoji634]

Something to think about is the downside about unknown foreign gear here in the US is when it’s time to sell or trade.

While I have done some listening, it is currently cooking on a steady stream from my NAS until early next week when I will do the real comparison audition.

In the early hours, there are noticeable differences.

Haven’t considered resale as I am still considering the purchase.

Cool, enjoy the comparison.

Resale is just one of those things I now think of, but not to deter you in any way.
