Is the Leben CS600x unbeatable?

Some of the above mentioned are kinda value brands... Leben is not. I'm w/ @markimiller on the AirTight, Shindo & Audio Note (I once had an older Meishu 300b & REALLY wish I never sold it) each brand being excellent electronics to pair with a  DeVore speaker system. I would also add Audiomat Opera & Solfege Reference integrated tube amps. Med power Chord SS amps pair well too. Just my opinion 

It seems the Devore O/96 has no “ideal” integrated, but a warm quality low powered integrated based on a user’s sonic preferences.  

OP

as others have posted, all sounds great, until you hear a better one. in my experience, (just me) I though the pass integrated was very good until I heard the audio note and ultimately the gryphons. Yes, it must be compared to the price point in which it must be compared with

Check out the Thrax Enyo MKII. I heard it at The 2025 Capitol Audiofest recently and it was fantastic paired with Thrax Lyra SE/Maxima (passive sub)

Did it have the bass boost turned on?
