I have happily owned an Ayon Spirit II for almost 10 years now, and it has never given me a single problem. I purchased a newer Spirit III a few years back, thinking it would be a sonic upgrade from the II, but found I preferred the sound of the Spirit II better compared to the III. I sold the III a few months later, and am still enjoying the Spirit II. It has direct RCA inputs, so it can be used with an external pre-amp if you have a good one. It looks as good as it sounds too!
