Give it a go. I believe the Audiophonics MPA-S250NC XLR is one of the best options in this range. https://www.audiophonics.fr/en/power-amplifier/audiophonics-mpa-s250nc-xlr-class-d-stereo-amplifier-ncore-2x250w-4-ohm-p-14185.html Can it be beat?

Holy shit, I'm gonna buy this on looks alone!

It's definitely on the plus side, but the volume control, bluetooth capability and internal power supply are the real deal breakers. I would assume there would be a product out there to rival the EX5 in this regard but so far my research comes up short.

I was thinking my phone (iPhone) and I might buy a CD-player at one point so maybe that one too. The Topping E30 looks nice! And it comes in silver and black, which won't look totally ridiculous next to my Marantz. It's on the top of my list! I guess airplay is better than bluetooth, but does...

Yo dudes of the x and y axis. I've been reading in here for some days. You know to hopefully gather knowledge. You guys certainly know a thing or two, but thing is, I don't. The more I read the weirder it gets. I'm just a guy with a stereo (Marantz 2270) and some speakers (Amphion Argon 3L)...
