Struggling for A10 vs T8 + Z10

I'm still strugging for either getting a single A10 or set of T8 with Z10. Just simply comparing the two set, which should be better? Not considering any C/P value nor any connection flexibility. Should i assume the T8 combo still can't compete drectly with an A10？
Some users has commented the A10 still the winner for its body, density & details but some claimed to be no difference. Which is your opinions? Thanks

 

Or is a standalone Z10 outperform an A10 for the dac section?

 

No difference, buy an A6 cheaper and no difference.

Asking for opinions, i would choose the A10. The build is great and the components are top notch. Leaves nothing to be desired. T8 & Z10 likewise, but you have two boxes, more interconnects and more power cables.

 

Big difference! I have a A6 gen 2 on hand and my friend has an A10 either. But haven't heard the T8/Z10 combo

 

I would go for the T8 + Z10. But that might be just because I prefer separates.

 

No you might ‘perceive’ a difference but in actuality there isn’t unless the A10 is adding audible distortion, which my unit didn’t appear to be.

Yes, the A10 sounds dramatically better than either A6 in every way PERCEIVABLE by an astute listener.
Ignore Putrid Audio. He tells everyone that they cannot hear differences because he cannot differences with his equipment. It's like the 80's all over again when many with cauliflower ears proclaimed CD's are perfect and better cables don't help.
Like Dave Chappelle often says, "somebody needs to STFU"!

 

CDs are perfect and ‘better’ cables don't help.

Problem is... who?. And this is not a silly question, bear in mind.
