Quote from our domestic
magazine HiFiles No. 52
from March 2013:
"Homework for competition
Conclusion
As with other Dayens
devices in Menuetto
is noticeable
great enthusiasm
while playing all kinds of materials
- it
was made
by people who
are themselves lovers
of quality
sound and
good music,
which you can clearly hear from every
note. The
visual impression
is another plus,
Menuetto, with it's
discreet appearance and combination of classic and modern details, will
easily fit into any environment.
Finally,
as already mentioned,
freedom from non-core
functions is not considered a minus but
a brilliant way to
get to the
best possible sound
at a given price.
In this category,
Menuetto is the champion."

"After spending a couple of
years in audio bliss with the Ampino, I
felt the need to scratch my audiophile
itch, and upgraded to their higher-end
integrated amplifier, the Dayens
Menuetto. An upgrade of this caliber
requires a great deal of faith in a
company and its products for a number of
reasons, not the least of which is the
fact that Dayens products are built in
Serbia, and not readily available for
audition in the US unless you live near
their single US distributor in Georgia,
which I do not. That said, I'm extremely
happy with my new Dayens Menuetto
integrated ($1250) - it offers the same
open, lively sound, and extremely wide
frequency range (1Hz - 200kHz) from a
more powerful 40watts per channel.
Output that is more dialed in, and just
a touch more refined and dignified than
the already excellent Ampino. Think:
less "jumpy." "

"More over, the Dayens
amplifiers (now two in my experience)
have proven themselves reliable, very
quiet in terms of electrical noise, and
versatile in terms of preferred speaker
pairings. I really wish there were a
less cliched way to convey to you that I
really recommend you shortlist the
Dayens Menuetto in its respective price
range when auditioning amplification;
especially if you particularly
value tonal beauty but don’t want to
put up with some of the added… errr…
lets call it fun of owning a tube
amplifier."
