Hi. The Kondo tt is much better than the Ayon - as it should regarding the huge price difference. I use the CD-5s as a dac for my mac book pro with very good results (no need to upgrade here). The ...

Wslam: what especially didn´t you like about the FM and Goldmund stuff ? I have heard Telos 600 monos and was blown away (didn´t liked the styling). FM Acoustics was superb - but to expensive.
