On my final legs in Day 2 at the MOC, something really bling caught my eyes, ears & total imagination. Read on to find out!

However, Dan D Augostino still has the final say when it came to amplifier designs. Look at the bling factor of Breguet watch inspired meter dial!
This full Dan D’Augostino system, comprising of Momentum pre amp, mono blocks driving a pair of Sonus Faber speakers. Source id analog in the form of an EAT turn table.

Offered in both black and white, the FiiO R7 is by far the most fascinating product currently available in the FiiO catalogue.
