Ayon Audio has really outdone themselves again! Every time a new model is released, which is about every 4 to 5 years, we think to ourselves – will the new model be even better.
I have to confess we do that here at USA Tube Audio and I can confirm that every time Ayon Audio introduces a new model, we are stunned that Ayon can yet squeeze out a superior performance over their Legacy model being replaced.
Ayon has done it again. The Stealth vacuum tube DAC will amaze and stun you. The soundstage is so realistic to the live event, the Stealth is so good, that your speakers will disappear during playback. Wall to wall three dimensional performance!
The Stealth can do it all – computer playback DSD professional audio use. The Quad differential gain stage, composed of 2x 6H30 dual triodes per channel a total of 4 6H30’s are so liquid, you will find yourself fully captivated and engaged.
Also 4x 6Z4 tubes for the power supply and signal rectification. Amazing! The Stratos DAC HD high capacity power supply setup in a “bridge” rectification design, is genius.
The Stealth will prove to be an intricate component, a must have machine in your system.

Dhruv Garg –
I have this paired up as a source to a full Burmester system and the results are phenomenal! Stealth sounds rich with a sweet tone and is also very resolving at the same time. The sound is very 3 dimensional and holographic. You can feel the speakers disappear and music floats in front of the speakers, with the depth of the overall soundstage extending well behind the speakers as well. It has a warm tone slightly on the richer side of neutral but not overly soft like a traditional tube amp/dac . Details are finely resolved without compromising richness/musicality. If you are looking at the highest level of inner resolution on music – this is not your thing, but this piece delivers on musicality with its richer tone! Its definitely not neutral , rich with a seductive tone that carries a unique Ayon signature and its very pleasing to listen to. The frequency extremes are well rounded. Treble is just right with no hint of harshness, the bass is rich with a powerful slam and has no hardness to it. Super refined, a wonderful addition to any system and performs great on all genres of music!
