Hi Amabrok, I listen almost exclusively to electronic synthesizer music, with some classical, rock, jazz etc when I fancy a change.
If I'm perfectly honest, this is a bit of a comedown from my previous system (Audio Research Reference amps, Accuphase 800/801 CD player, Avid Acutus reference/Triplanar VII/Koetsu Blue Lace and Wilson Sasha) but only just purchased my new system over the last year since moving to Qatar in 2010 from UK.
I'm learning to enjoy it, and using the CD player rather than macbook air has certainly brought a vast improvement, coupled with running in of the new components. I may look to buy a turntable early next year when I have my CD's and LP's sent over here, and have yet to hear the phono stage of the devialet)
I'm just waiting for a custom artisan silver master/companion lead and silver usb cable. I have the option to compare the Esoteric and Devialet dacs as the K-01x accepts a USB input.
I also find a bit more volume is required to obtain the quality and dynamics I used to enjoy, "demanding" I listen to the music rather than enjoying my book at the same time haha!
I'll post pictures of the system soon.
