The test setup
Contents
We have been playing with the Sonnet Pasithea for a few weeks. The dac has been in several tests (in addition to our own Metrum Acoustics Pavane with DAC3), including the multitest interlinks (live stream) and the test of the Jcat ATX power supply. In addition, we also naturally listened to the dac as a separate test device in our reference set. The test system consists of:
- Pass Labs XP-12
- Bryston 4B SST3
- Focal Sopra No1
- Sonnet Pasithea
- Mutec MC3+ USB
- Alpha Audio PC with Jcat XE cards
- Driade Flow speaker cables
- Driade Flow interlinks
- Grimm TPM interlinks
- Audioquest Carbon USB
- Isotek filters: Titan EVO3Â on the Bryston 4B and the Aquarius V5 on the sources.
Hi gang and thanks. No dsd…correct? Why?
Hi reader. You have to ask the manufacturer why, we don’t know: https://www.sonnet-audio.com/Pasithea.html
Hi Jaap,
How would you compare the Pasithea to your MSB Premier? Thanks.
I currently have an EMM Labs DCC2 /CDSD combo playing through Halcro DM 58s to Revel Salons. Am looking to modernize and move to hi res streaming ( although may keep a CD player ). Am currently looking at :
Sonnet Pasithea
Holo May kitsune
Bricasti M3
Does any9ne have an opinion on those? Or is familiar with the EMM Labs dac for comparison ?
Thx
Seth

Hello Guys,
As always what a great review !
I have a Denafrips Athena preamp & Terminator -II using HQP to PCM 1.536mhz and that is the way the Terminator-II seems to squeeze its best bits.
I have this itch with the Pasithea, and wonder how good would it be to switch to it from where im standing now ( T-II ), any suggestions ?
Have you tried Pasithea with HQP ?
These are the DACs im considering:
– Lampizator Baltic 3
– Sonnet Pasithea
– SW1X DAC II BALANCED
fingers crossed
Regards to You all
