I listened to the Osiris with the Isis, and with their new flagship speakers, the RS10.

Jerome, very sexy! Perusing that review, I noticed the build quality of these units making their "value" higher than so many other components out there! These are not some stamped sheet metal units It reminds me of the build of Ayre components. Not to mention the high quality caps, transformers and more than adequate power supplies, as well as laser assemblies and transport mechanism.
Good luck with your audition and perhaps "addition" to your system! Looking forward to your impressions. As far as SACD, I for one would not miss it. I prefer the XRCD by a wide margin due to the source of the musical content (analog master tapes) and the manufacturing differences. XRCD breathes with life and analog warmth. |

Tone Audio also reviewed both units with equally flattering results
I think it is a real nice touch to include a quality power cord and interconnect with each piece. More manufacturers should also follow this practice

Yes, and Serge wrote this in his review :
"I suspect that many of the Osiris buyers will come from customers who were looking at Luxman, Burmester, darTZeel and other premium integrateds. Initial reports from Rega indicate that they are the same customers who gravitate towards these two components." Exactly how I feel..... : I stated already that the Osiris impressed me more than the DarTZeeL CTH8550. Full review here : http://www.tonepublications.com/MAGPDF/TA_026.pdf

The April Music Stello V2 appears to be a very good USB/COAX adaptor. 6moons audio reviews: April Music U2
