Awesome British sound

Overall I am very impressed with the value that is packed in this unit. The build quality is excellent. I am pleased with the sound quality so far and I know that it will improve with time as it burns in. I have it connected to a audifi by auris dac. The combination sounds awesome. I am running a pair of Polk ES 20 bookshelf speakers and a Polk SW 10 subwoofer. So far I am very happy. I also want to thank everyone at Listen up for the great service that you guys provide.
