Got my CA DacMagic, first impression (no fully run-in yet), it delivers a wider, deeper and more dynamic soundstage, better clarity, i can hear different depth of music with ease, it provides a very good and clear 3D sound imaging especially at mid-range (vocal) frequencies. I tried them at both digital sources, i.e. CA 540C CD player and Squeezebox Classic.

I believe it would be more warmer and musical after full run-in. I am very satisfy with its performance though it's just the first time audition.

Finally, the original speaker stands had been arrived and get them fixed.

Really delighted with the sound improvement, i.e. wider sound stage, less noise distortion (could be due to the weight of speaker stand), also the music instruments played are more well-defined.

It's worth and value for money. Not only sound improvement but also its aesthetic appearance.

I have ordered original Sonus Faber Concertino Domus (SFCD) speaker stand, it's hard to get one this day as the above model no longer in production, hopefully i am lucky to get one soon.

Thanks for a lot of advices from my friends, that this original SFCD speaker stand will improve the soundstage and it looks solid too.

Now Krell has been runned in for for around 48 hours, yesterday i can hear a better soundstage especially at midrange compared the beginning.

I used VDH the Goldwater speaker before, but i find Chord giving a more neutral sound though it's cheaper than VDH.

I find VDH the Source is a great interconnect.

DVD player? My digital sources are Cambridge Audio 540C V2 and Slim Devices Squeezebox.

I have a plan to buy DAC before (such as Benchmark DAC), but at last i upgraded my speaker and amplifier, because it improves more compared to DAC, moreover, the DAC in CA and SB3 already quite good.

Sebrof, you are my first response, thanks.

I think it's Concerto Domus, big brother of Concertino Domus. But someone told me Primare is not so musical pairing with SF compare with Audio Analogue.
