Oui l aquarius est dans les 2800. Dans les discussions qui suivent l essai de Sandu voici ce qu il dit de ce dernier vs le gustard x26 pro :
Aquarius is slightly different sounding, but it's definitely Not twice as good. Dynamic range/resolution is on par, Aquarius is by a hair wider, deeper and more holographic. The biggest difference is the way they render music as a whole. There is a constant smoothness / liquidity with Aquarius and that's less obvious on X26 PRO (but there is still some). Treble is particularly unique with R-2R's - you hear every detail and all the micro-details, but without an added sharpness filter. If you ever listened to DSD files decoded natively - that is how Aquarius sounds with ALL my music...
Worry not, X26 PRO is still an outstanding unit and I'm praising it highly, Aquarius just adds more soul and weight to the music. I could easily live with either of them.
