What’s the conclusion of hifi news? They liked it?
A bit overdue, but here goes.

Really wish they would proof the ad copy. Class D is not "digital".
hifi-news did mention about this on their Lab Report section though.

Good that the ever-so-loyal Mac tribe can get a dose of state of the art if they so desire. They can afford the styling, no doubt expensive casework and good bloomin' luck to them as long as the input buffer doesn't mess things up.

Got so say that I'm more an Accuphase man meself - the looks on the current stuff is amazing to me and performance be damned :D I can't afford it but I can look can't I?
Yup. Now class D can be high end. And I bet it sounds completely different than the stuff Amir has tested.

The huge meters have always looked garish to me. Obviously I missed the high-end memos.
