Here is another question. I have a 399 I bought in the states and I'm wondering if there is an easy way to adapt it to the UK? It sounds like these amps aren't much available in the UK/Europe so I'm curious whether I can bring mine over to our place in the UK? It seems like the amp may need to...

I recently purchased the 399 with BluOs module. I have Harbeth C7 XD speakers and had been using an earlier version of BlueSound Powernode and I was fascinated to see what if any difference in sound reproduction I'd notice. I come from the school that most well designed solid state amps are...

The point I was trying to make is one box streaming integrated amps with dsp still seem priced relatively high. I can imagine looking at other hypex/purifi amps available now, we could see the 399 sort of feature set for closer to $1000 in a couple years. But who knows.

I'm interested in a one box streaming integrated with dsp, so the 399 is hopeful. Still seems like we may be paying for R&D or somewhat early adapters with the pricing of these features. Read the first review I've come across of this today, sadly no objective testing. Luckily I'm not in a hurry...

I considered this but want to be able to use the dsp feature and Amirm review here suggested that using this function on the amp degrades the performance: "...As a pure, analog integrated amplifier, the Yamaha R-N803 does well. It produces ample amount of power into 4 ohm with pretty low...

I really appreciate the perspective you share here. It's one I've pondered. But at this point I've come down more on the side of a streaming integrated with some dsp, which I think I can find used for less than $2000, like NAD M10 A key learning, as I've reflected back on the many amps I've...

Thx, I'd seen that review and was surprised at the difference between the right and left channel and why that would be with a seemingly well designed digital amp? And would these differences be audible with close listening? My Harbeth C7xd speakers are a relatively benign load to drive.

There are many explanations from various sources. Not really sure how much of a difference we can hear with damping factor but generally it seems higher gives better control of speakers, especially bass. Here is an example explanation from KEF website: " Damping Factor (DF) is the amplifier’s...

I like this as well, just wish the Lyngdorf 1120 had a bit more power and better damping factor.

I'm a new poster but have been reading ASReview for a few years, about time I joined. I am looking to upgrade from Powernode that I'm using to integrated with dsp and more power. What I am looking for is recommendation for a good: * one box solution * streaming integrated amp * with dsp *...
