    Audiophonics HPA-S400ET or something else? [suggestion]

    Amazing, the 2 monos are fed in bypass mode and powering a pair of (upgraded) Tannoy SRM15x monitors. The results it's fantastic! I plan to buy a lower powered Class D amp (still have to think of the best one) from Audiophonics to feed Tannoys and plug the 2 monos to a pair of a great sounding...

    I remember from the review and measurements done here that also excluding completely the buffer part it's not having effects on SQ. I did it just because the RME DAC i have is able to drive nicely the 2 Purify modules without the need of a buffer. The speakers are also quite sensitive at 95dbs...

    I use it as a streamer only feeding an RME ADI-2 DAC driving the 400ET in bypass mode and they sound amazing! The streamer functionalities and especially the WiiM app is one of the best overall. I never used it as a DAC but i think it will be up to the task. Consider also the rest of your...

    That makes totally more sense then the suspension stiffness increase/decrease and the speed of sound variances related to the temp. We are speaking of 7-8 degrees differences in the 23°-30° degrees window.

    Personally, I would check both the ear and the hifi system, just to confirm one thing. One of the two or maybe both can be at the end of their lives to exhibit such a behavior. Then, if they're both fine, the thing i was thinking of is confirmed. you need a psychologist and/or a drug therapy.

    From an Italian "audiophile" forum: Not sure i can post the direct link, so i'm just pasting the text: " Questo argomento non è mai stato sviscerato nella sua reale completezza da nessun esperto, e tanto mai dagli appassionati di hifi , ora visto che in queste settimane sta...

    At the end i decided and I'm listening to 2 Audiophonics monos AP300-M400ET. Based on some considerations and availability too. I'm impressed with the sound! They seem a match made in Heaven with RME ADI 2 DAC, I'm using the bypass mode going straight from XLR to Purifi modules. Even with the...

    Infinity kappa 8. but in another room. I will use Royal device Laura mk2 and 3a Arioso with the amp. Just want to have something, in a possible future, that can work also with the kappa too.

    I was meaning both together are 80 bucks less than the stereo one :D not sure why, since the 2 chassis. maybe the 2 lower wattage PS are less than the more powerful one? For the energy part, sure, it's just a waste, OFC better class D than 2 class A Krell monos :D. Negligible, but still stupid...

    @amper42 thank you again! i'm starting sayng that to me the Boxem makes more sense just because of the fantastic orange front plate! i'm serious, love it! 1. to me it's kinda useless function, makes sense to someone who likes it or find it useful. 2. apart from the suggestion of the purifi...

    Hi all, i'm about to buy new amplifier and i was about to go for this one: Audiophonics HPA-S400ET Since i'm living in europe, seems of an excellent price/quality ratio. My requirements, apart from best possible mesures/peformance, are: - no more than 2000 EURO - at least 70 watt power on 8ohm...
