„The particular lesson to take away is that God Note’s all-out player/DAC is one beast of a performer. At €11’240 all in, it’s big time stuff both physically, fysically and the other way around. (…) This multi-tier upgrade path can be applied across the range except for their power amplifier. That really is a unique selling proposition. It’s also a rather forward-thinking strategy. Way to go, Golden Squad of Florence!“ – Srajan Ebaen
