Based on those listening experiences, it is no surprise that the reproduction of the three-dimensional listening space by the LaScala is one of the best I have "seen." That the music is completely carved out from the speakers, and that a deep space is created, one can expect already from the above descriptions. But it is absolutely outstanding how this is performed. In the sound-wise exceptional recording of the Seventh Symphony by Beethoven performed by the Budapest Festival Orchestra (Beethoven, Symphony No. 7, Channel Classics, 96kHz) conducted by Iván Fischer, the LaScala to the left and the right builds up clearly structured walls of the concert hall, which give the reproduction stable boundaries. At the same time, the music radiates from the center of the stage. There is absolutely no doubt about the position and the real size of each individual instrument in the orchestra. And yet, or just because of this fact, the whole orchestras sound "holistic," like one big instrument.
Is it possible to top this? Yes, it is possible, once you find the perfect source to team up with the LaScala. As the guys from CanEVER Audio still had in mind my great favour for the sound of the ZeroUno DAC, they generously lent me one unit of this excellent DAC for the time being, because of this review. Since the ZeroUno DAC with its analog balanced and unbalanced outputs can be used in parallel and the DAC itself can act a preamp, it was the perfect partner to drive the subwoofer of my JOTA system through one pair of outputs and the mid-high satellites via the LaScala using the second pair of output connectors of the DAC. Again I leveled all channels of the system with my oscilloscope. All my comments above are valid for this set up as well!
