We were at this year's California Audio Show by Dagogo, which was tons of fun. Here's some coverage of our room!
We listened to Tobin’s “One Last Look,” and the sound was surprisingly relaxed, full-bodied, and appropriately compelling and fun, with impressive bass extension.

I have to say my 10 minute visit in the Neko room gave me some of the same tingly feelings I get with vinyl. I probably had 20 rooms to notice the inadequacy of most of the digital front ends....but, the Neko Audio room was decidedly different and better sounding.
