Been listening to both my NP1 and SET120 in different systems in different homes…. So hard to compare them, but … I think I’m more attracted to the presentation of the SET120. It sounds more immediate and perhaps less ‘controlled’ to my ears. The NP1 sounds lovely , just saying I think the SET120 is more preferable to me. That said .. different sources, different preamps, different speakers, different rooms.
Looking forward to picking up an AVA Digital Preamplifier to pair with the NP1.
