Initial impressions by 6moons at Munich 2015
http://www.digitalaudioreview.net/2015/0...kii-audio/
There are threads on the Kii Three at AShark, AAficionado and WBF. Comments from some who heard them at their European debut in Germany, Belgium and Netherlands have been quite positive with reports of impressive imaging and soundstaging.
However, those who heard them at RMAF 2015 on the first day, were not that positive. On the second day, they changed the source from CDP + DAC to direct from laptop (must have used a DD converter) and, reportedly, there was a significant improvement.
Since all analog inputs are digitised, going direct from the laptop would have eliminated the DA/AD stage when running through the CDP/DAC.
