R to r dacs


I was completely taken by the sq of the Aqua hi fi la scala dac during a demo.  Even with a discount the price is out of budget and would have to add a streamer as well
I have been following multiple impressions of direct to consumer units such as Denefrips pontus, audio gd 7 and Holo May.  Anyone with experience with the Aqua hi fi and the subsequent dacs?
TIA

i have a sonnet morpheus, it is one of my two main dacs (non tube, but r2r), really love the sound, to my ears just the right balance of incisiveness, richness/saturation/texture, purity of tone...

but i have not had an aqua to compare (nor do i have plans to acquire one presently)

at this level it is hardly about what is better, they are all very good, but present the music differently, emphasizing different aspects ... tis a matter of what one prefers or what one’s system needs for synergy
