No listening impressions until next week.
Certainly looks as bespoke as its price suggests!!

I’m going to fly into Dallas and visit Scott Walker to hear it. They have one too.

I just visited Mike and the team at Suncoast. My friend Pat and I (both Cascade owners) listened to the Sentinel. It was connected directly to the power amps driving the Clarisys Arias.
I’ll try to not overhype the presentation but, damn it, it is clearly superior to any DAC I’ve ever heard; and, I’ve heard most in the uber space. It is definitely superior to its next in line brother the Cascade.
So, what’s better? Everything. It has a wonderful pace to the presentation. Very open, clear, no digital artifacts. Dynamics? Tons. Instrument definition is fantastic - violin strings of Anne Sophie Mutter were the best I’ve hear; the trumpet in Lee Morgan’s Sidewinder was in the room; Eric Clapton’s guitar strings from Old Love’s Unplugged album snapped and were nicely extended; and, Eva Cassidy’s beautiful voice and guitar playing were presented beautifully.
We only listened to about 30 minutes of music. I could have listened for hours!
So, those that have the resources to get a Sentinel will be very happy. It is a special component.
