Hey there, I’ve just bought a Quad Vena II - 2 weeks in, I have to say I am super happy with it, also glad I didn’t get the play version. I’d rather have the option to pick my streamer. At present using an old MacBook Pro from 2011 over USB linked to Roon and Quobuz as well as Amazon Music Ultra HD & iTunes.
I switched out my Dali Zensor Pico’s from my old system to a pair of second hand Acoustic Energy Aegis EVO 3 speakers. Top end was slightly fizzy on the Dalis, welll tamed on the AE’s. My Audiolab 6000 CDT sounds great as does my old Rega Planar 2 with a Grado Green cart.
If you want any specific details, let me know and I will try and help as NO ONE seems to have done a decent review on YT.
PS. For context I’ve listened to lots of styles and genres on this setup as much as anything to burn it all in - Kraftwerk, Tool, Conforce, Metallica, Slayer, Miles Davis, U2, James, MCR, Bach, Philip Glass, Terry Riley, Bowie, The Beatles, Led Zep… even show tunes, Wagner, Cheesy 80’s Pop… all the musics, it handles everything amzingly!
