I owned this amp years ago and ended up selling it. I can’t even remember why I sold it but I always regretted it. This one showed up at a local hifi store where the first owner bought it as well. Last year some internal work was done on it and it’s basically brand new now. I went in to buy some thicker speaker cable but when I saw the price tag of €450 I couldn’t resist so I took it home. I sounds exactly like I remember; big, open, warm, detailed, dynamic and a huge reserve of power. My girlfriend wasn’t exactly happy when I told her how much I paid for it but when she heard it that all went away. She loves it as much as I do.

Hi-Res is pointless. No commercial recording has the dynamic range or frequency range to benefit from the bit depth or sampling frequency.
