Pulled the trigger on a Moon 861! Hope it pairs well on my Focals

Another +1 @audphile1 

Just to follow up... I am coming close to a 100 hours. I can def. start to hear the same traits I heard when I listened to it in the store. It's quite a interesting phenomenon. It's not all the time... I think it is just  beginning. But at  times the detail is quite amazing and so real. Incredible. It's like I am in the studio. All the treble that I complained about before is gone now... it sounds very smooth.  Quite a interesting and pure sound.... I would compare it to having headphones on. 

Just wanted to do another follow up... lately I noticed the Moon is sounding really good. I think it's really starting to break in now. There are times when I hear some music from it and I am just like... wow! 

You haven't heard anything until you upgrade your source and cease using any phone via bluetooth.

A little late to this discussion but using a Moon 861 with bluetooth or AirPlay is like throwing money away.  Eversolo is good as a streaming DAC but seems like folks have a complaint about having to turn the volume up to -20 before it gets loud enough when using the preamp section.  I have a Moon 860A V2 and I would buy the Moon 861 in a heartbeat.  I'm too close to retirement and don't want to spend that much on another amplifer.  I bought my 860A V2 as a B stock unit at 40% off.  The Moon amplifier sounds superior to any other amp I own.

I have an Everstolo T8 connected to my Mark Levinson No 5206 preamp and it sounds great.  I have Dynaudio Contour 60 speakers and they're very revealing.  I tried a Moon MiND2 streamer and it didn't sound any better than the Eversolo T8.  The DAC is going to make the biggest difference.

I have the Eversolo A8 connected as a streaming DAC on another system, and it sounds excellent for what it cost.  Eversolo UI is great.  I stream with my own library, Tidal, Qobuz, and Apple Music.  The added bonus with Eversolo is that you can stream hi rez Apple Music natively.
