musician aquarius r2r dac any good?

Gustard has just released a new R2R dac the R26. No reviews out yet but their chip based dac all get high marks from owners. It also is loaded with other features than can be of interest. I am waiting for someone to post a review and listening experience. The cost is $1800.

I don't hear much talk of Lampizator.  Are these different type?  Just curious, my bank account won't support.

@viethluu just curious, have you tried the Warm “orange” filter on the Qutest? I remember when I had the Qutest I really liked the sweeter sound that engaging the Warm filter produced. 

@gladmo I am on the same boat as you buddy. My impression of the Aquarius all comes from internet review. What I am hoping for is landing some where between the Venus and the Terminator. That is why I picked up the Aquarius. I am also exploring the option of having Audio Note r2r. From what I heard they are also very good.

@audphile1 I tried every filters on the Hugo2. The sound changed a little bit with each filter. Yet the soundstage stays the same, the transparency does changed a tiny bit, not increasing but decreasing.

I also tried the Hugo2 running on battery only, the transparency improved a little bit.

Like I said, the Hugo2 has reach its maximum capacity. It has become a bottleneck in my system. My need for a new DAC is real.
