Ayon Audio Forum- all questions and suggestion

My Ayon Orion II had a meltdown within 2 hours of turning on the unit. They are replacing the unit but my confidence has taken a hit. Paul says this is the first time he has had to replace an Orion II.

Anybody try the Tung Sol KT-120 in the Triton II? It seams they increased the size of the Spirit III transformers to handle the KT-120s but this is not mentioned in the Triton II or III desciption on the Ayon Audio website.

I'm contemplating upgrading my w4s to skyline II or amr dp777. I may consider to replace my mc2300 pre iwth ayon dac skyline. I wonder if anyone have compared the preamp of ayon and more particularly to mc2300. Many thanks

If the Skylla preamp is anything like the CD5S, I think it seems fairly noisy if it's
not partnered well with the power amp.

So best to audition with the power amps you want first. On others it's virtually
silent.

Thanks Doggiehowser. Any particular power amps that you experienced noisy and hum?
