Talked to my dealer a while ago, and will go in to hear the Rossini Apex next week. I have the Rossini DAC, and have been considering the Rossini Clock as my next upgrade. My plan was (and is) to go in and hear the Rossini vs Rossini Apex, both with and without the Clock to see which upgrade I'd want first as doing both right now isn't financially feasible.
According to my dealer, now that they've had the Rossini Apex for a couple weeks, the consensus is that the Apex upgrade adds quite a bit more to the Rossini than the Clock does. In fact, they are of the opinion that the Rossini Apex is now on par with the Vivaldi DAC without Apex. I'll see for myself if I agree with that assessment when I go in to audition.
