Moon North Collection Versus Pass Labs X350 - Which would have that liquid sound?

I haven’t heard the Pass combo, but I have heard the North 761/791 vs the 861/891 at some length. The 800 series is more resolving, smoother (more liquid) and more musical though both series are very, very good and a signficant step up from Sim’s previous offerings IMO. I also agree with @audiopacer in that there are many factors influencing the result but the electronics are unlikely to be a limiting factor. 

I ended up purchasing the 761 amp for my 2nd system as it was close enough for me and would fit in my cabinet! There is a greater difference in the 891 vs the 791 preamp/DACs.

If I hadn’t already been well down another path with my better system, I would likely own the 861/891 pair. Elegant and simple with remarkable sonics.   

Best,

I'm a lttle unsure of exactly what liquid is, but having been an owner of a Pass x350 for many years... I would say look at a Pass XA amp, not the X series. 

@audiopacer Do you still have both systems? If not, which one do you currently have?

@dman777 I do not. Have an Accuphase system now, which is like the best of Pass and latest moon with its own twist. 

@audiopacer Wow, that saids a lot about Accuphase. Do you mind sharing what Accuphase model(s) you are using? 

And what streamer/DAC are you using with it? 

Would you  say that this is your end game system or do you think you might switch it out later?
