Well as you know I haven't been able to get on with the Elicit as have now tried several units all with various faults.
The strong point of the Elcit R was the transparency - downside to this being that my DAC sounded very harsh and clinical - not musical if you like!
The Elicit is no longer in my possesion (refund) I picked up a used Brio R yesterday from someone local at a good price - just to keep me going while I decide on my plans long term regarding an amp.
Just played some digital files through my DAC and have been pleasantly surprised how good the Brio R sounds with them - Vinyl sounds as ytou would expect too!
This now takes the pressure off now on diving straight into another amp for the sake of it.
Hell I might keep the Brio R - its a cracking little system - everything sounnds great - maybe I have learnt a lesson - don't mess with components as it will lead to constantly suffering with upgraditis.
Kudos to Rega & Cymbiosis they have been excellent in all this.
