Day 1 - So far, the Maroon Peak Room with VAC / Tannoy blew me away. The VAC featuring their Renaissance/Signature - 39K and Tannoy Kingdom Royal MKII - 96K. Effortless sound, super detailed, the room was well equipped with room treatments. The Esoteric room with Canton speakers ($15k) was also very good, Esoteric stack was around $120K 😳 Aurender room with Magnapan’s, REL sub, Hegel Stereo amp with A10 was simply amazing. MQA is in its full glory..... Bluesound Vault 2 demo was very disappointing....$500 PSB monitors with NAD classic series components. Enjoyed the usual Nordost demo with Jeff Rowland and DCS DAC. I believe Nordost Tyr2 cables sits at the sweet spot and probably the best value compared to Valhalla and Odin. Look out for MERGING NADAC stereo and multichannel player. I was totally surprised, both by sound and reasonable retail ($10k) from a Swiss brand. Moon Audio stack with 780D DAC was also amazing, price of admission - $19K for DAC alone with MQA capability...ouch! More to come.

Beautiful sound with exquisite build. The graphic display is to die for, lots of power to drive anything out there.

IMO, the seperate sounds much better than Integrated, plus chassis finish is a step up as well. The amp and pre retails for $6k and $4k respectively.

Simaudio components are very neutral and transparent, I would try couple of cables that doesn’t ‘color’ the sound. May I recommend Audience Au24 SE or Acrolink 7N-D7000 AES/EBU cables. I’ve used both of these cables and they are excellent cables under $1K.
