I’m feeling that way. Honestly the biggest question with the D8k Pro is your setup. Honestly the MZ2 and Vali 2+ LOVE the D8k Pro. It’s unreal. It’s a top performer, but I do like the timbre on the Diana Phi better and the details are better. D8k Pro bass > Diana Phi bass.
I have found audiophile enlightenment.

I also have to post this. I never cared about cables before. But with the AB1266, the super conductor cable is 100% this:

Bought a thx AAA one on drop today. My atom somehow died and I didn’t had another good amp so I had to rely on onboard to use my 58x which made me sad 
I could use my koss, but they have this right cup issue that came back after getting it fixed once

Is this Amp with or without Tubes?
Looks good and solid,have fun with him 
.
It’s a solid state amp and just phenomenal and fun. There are better amps but the experience is wonderful.
Where did you find that?
I’ve already looked at what Cavelli has in its range, but their homepage raises more questions than one would like.
There is nothing more than a repair service.
I thought you might be able to get through them via an MLP and possibly save on customs clearance, but it doesn’t look like it.
Rare bird when they do pop up they sure do go for big $
I looked at this a few dozen times but not in my upgrade path for now

Just bought the Element II via AVExchange for $260. Very impressed so far!
Hope this becomes the only amp I’ll need throughout my hifi journey

Just ordered an open box hifiman ananda to replace my koss which I loved…but in retrospect, it wasn’t a good purchase since it had the same issue twice and it’s not easy to fix because the cables are attached.
That with the amp, I cried a bit because tbf, I didn’t expect both of these expenses, like it will be mostly an upgrade on my setup which is good, but it’s just “stuff I didn’t wanted to buy now” kind of deal
I am looking forward how the ananda sounds however…

Your loss, I have one and with the AB1266… worth every penny.
@sa11297 found mine and I played someone immediately without any protections just to have a chance to get one. drools
I watched this… with the super conducting cable… can confirm. Cavalli Audio Liquid Gold - Head-Fi TV - YouTube
yeah that’s the one I bought.
Let me know if you decide you want one, as I won’t be keeping the liquid gold and formula s and hsa1b
