Iā€™d be interested in your thoughts Utopia vs 1266. I was close to buying the Dianaā€™s but couldnā€™t close the deal. Ended up with 2020 Utopias instead, very happy with them! See below ---

Iā€™ll definitely be doing some comparison with 1266 this weekend, especially with some rock and metal as that is usually 60% of my listening. Right now I just canā€™t take Utopia off my head šŸ˜ƒ I had heard about the synergy between Utopia and EC Studio B and can definitely see that. Iā€™m also getting the Stratus demo in a couple weeks to compare which should be fun and most likely in line for Stellaris after that. ---

Yeah, I had the Stratus demo and itā€™s a wonderful amp. Definitely need to run some tubes through it to unlock it. Reach out to me if you want to borrow some tubes. I just put a deposit on a Stellaris myself. Great amps! ---

Nice!! I am super intrigued by the cfa3. Iā€™ve heard a lot of praise for it with the Susvara.

Awesome, thanks for the offer, much appreciated! I believe you were the last person to have the demo Stratus. One of the main reasons I got the Utopia was to try it on the Stratus since Iā€™ve heard so much about that synergy. I hadnā€™t really expected it to be so good but it really blew my Atriums out of the water. ---

Thanks! Iā€™m really enjoying the CFA3, especially with Studio B as the preamp. Not sure if your Envy has pre outs but that would be a great way to use it with your Susvara. ---

The Envy does have pre-outs and that was exactly what I was thinking. Though my focus is on a dac for my next upgrade. Maybe eventually though ---

Yeah DAC might make more sense especially since the Envy probably drives the Susvara pretty well. I highly recommend May KTE if youā€™re looking at R2R. ---

Havenā€™t heard the Envy (would love to one day) but just my two cents about the Holo DACs - they can be very (too?) smooth in some chains. I think the they are a bit over hyped for what youā€™re getting. They can fit perfectly in some chains but they arenā€™t the last word imo in R2R.
