Our favorite reviewer quotes:
- "And the Viva Solista positively lit up the GIYA from bottom to top with that evenhanded control and super saturated sound that makes music feel dimensional and alive. This pairing also showed off the Solista's speed, as did the Volti Rival SE and DeVores, but the Vivid GIYA have their own kind of deftness that escapes from their cabinets with effortless grace."

- "If you're familiar, at all, with the 2A3 tube, this implementation has everything you're looking for and more — speed, articulation, detail, unbelievable tone and timbral accuracy, with immersive and fully 3-D soundscapes spilling over, around and through you. Where this tube does not tend to thrill is in bass reproduction." (https://pt.audio/2016/02/06/review-viva-audio-egoista-2a3-headphone-amplifier)
- "It's as if everything I like about the sound of my STAX L700, including the bass slam and the fluidity of how the upper midrange transitions into the treble just got dialed up a few notches. Switching back and forth between the STX and my D50 amp confirmed that the STX was adding (for lack of better words) more life and body to the sound my ear speakers were putting forth."

- "The Egoista reproduces air and space better than any amplifier that has graced my listening room. The Viva does not have any "electronic" sound." (https://headphone.guru/viva-egoista-amplifier-a-majestic-masterpiece-part-ii)
