Looks interesting.
It is impossible for anything digital to sound analogue, because it isn't analogue!

Hi Geoff, I have read and received some very positive comments about both the X22 Pro and the X26. The minor flaws in the X22 Pro all seem to have been fully addressed in the X26. I have not read a bad word about the chip. Going to take the plunge so will let you know. M

Oh my god! There's nothing wrong with the bidet is there?
“Nothing discloses real character like the use of power. It is easy for the weak to be gentle. Most people can bear adversity. But if you wish to know what a man really is, give him power. This is the supreme test. It is the glory of Lincoln that, having almost absolute power, he never abused it, except on the side of mercy".
“You see these dictators on their pedestals, surrounded by the bayonets of their soldiers and the truncheons of their police ... yet in their hearts there is unspoken fear. They are afraid of words and thoughts: words spoken abroad, thoughts stirring at home -- all the more powerful because forbidden -- terrify them. A little mouse of thought appears in the room, and even the mightiest potentates are thrown into panic.”
"You don't have free will. You have the appearance of free will.”
“There's a war out there, old friend. A world war. And it's not about who's got the most bullets. It's about who controls the information. What we see and hear, how we work, what we think... it's all about the information!”

Have upgraded a few of these currently have the LKS version of the dual mono Sabre 38's in currently for some upgrade work as well.
Very solid circuit board, interesting power supply network, discrete i/v stage powerful sound respectable casework plus I2S input for those who are interested in that digital signal transfer.
For the money not bad at all

Real high end sound with musicality not hifi
