Watched this review when it came out, awesome! Since then, I purchased Nuprime. I went all in...Evolution DAC2, and the STA amplifier combined with the Stream9. Very impressive! paired with my Sonus Faber SonettoVIII speakers, it completely changed the sound I was used to. Realism is an understatement. I am still amazed at what that combo can do. Can't stop listening! Cheers
