I mean I would suggest trying out a clear if you get the chance, but with how much you disliked the elegia, it would be a pretty risky buy imo

ohhh trust me i read all of your guys’ thoughts on the Verite closed, but they would be for fun/enjoyment, like all the talk you guys do makes me want to skip and go straight to end game
shiiiitttt, well i guess that saves me $1500, should just go the SSL/Neve/Enog
route
So I think if you were to get the ssl honestly you could just omit the enog unless you felt you needed another dac, while the enog would be an improvement, I don’t know if it would be large enough to justify over just using the ssl

right on, i mean the ssl would be for my ipad rig, i still would like a nice separate dac amp at the desk and ditch the THX
It sounds like he’d like something with a more elevated upper mid presentation.
Ah gotcha then that would be a solid choice if you had optical

I can’t say for sure, since it could have also been the way the focal presents that could have come off strangely, or potentially timbre. Generally I wouldn’t say the elegia is lacking in the upper mids, but I would really need more details about more specific things that bothered you @11_Clouds. Also perhaps we could continue this elsewhere later to not clog the rnhp thread anymore lol

the more i read about THX the more buyers regret i have, and duh Neve so i just need to make a choice, just not sure about the preamps and the headphone out on the SSL, and then theres Audient with the optical in, just overload right now

Nah, just bringing it back. I’m not a braggart. 
LCD-X might be another option for you.

The preamps on the SSL is solid, but the headphone amp is average and I would most likely want to go with an external solution for better quality later on. Audient interfaces are pretty nice if you want something a bit smoother warmer, and imo also have a bit better headphone amps (but again an external solution would be able to offer you more there)
So what would you use the optical for?

ya thats what i had in mind, use the Neve as the head phone amp, i think that plus the SSL would be solid if you like the preamps, the Focusrite doesn’t do the Moog justice…
i have a TC Electronic M350 that has an optical out to use as an outside plugin, plus i go in coax digital from a guitar processor to get a better A/D conversion, i can front panel button switch for quick change, it’s super handy

It’s similar to the rnhp with a bit more drive (or gain lol) and a bit better quality components, but really not worth the added cost imo. Although the RNDAC is worthwhile
