As good as the Aesthetix Pandora Eclipse sounds I was not prepared for the inprovement associated with putting the Signature Signature Rendu in the system.

Resulted in the single largest performance increase I have had in my 30 plus years of tweaking.  This replaced the Pandora standard version which is also an exceptional unit but the Eclipse version does not sound like an upgrade.....it sounds and performs like a completely different dac.  I am very surprised there has yet to be a review of this unit but when it shows up I expect to see 5 stars.  I was going to send in my Standard model for the Signature upgrade but right befor contacting Aesthetix to arrange it the Eclipse version with volume control showed up so was able to swing it with the sale of the Pandora Standard.  I also sold the Aethetix Calypso Signature preamp as the dac is my only source and the optional volume control in the Pandora eliminates the need for a preamp unless you are connecting multiple sources to your setup.

This tubed integrated offers fatigue free listening sessions and captures vocal nuances that deliver an emotional connection to the music that makes it difficult to shut down the system. Highly Recommended!

Integrates perfectly into my smallish, (12x10) listening room.

Done here.

Use these between the Aesthetix Pandora Dac and the LTA z40+ Integrated amplifier.

Every bit the equal to my ears with the PS Audio Premier which was sent in for a $500 repair once and failed again recently which was about 2 years after the initial repair.  I could have had it repaired for another $500 but trashed it and ended up with the Furman piece.
