This is all really interesting but last June, I bought an S400ET (Audiophonics) amp and that’s an end-game amp for me. (To be honest, I don’t know what to do with all of its power but hey, I know it’s there.)
Like the great DAC race, we have reached DAC perfection at an affordable price.
Don’t get me wrong, it’s great to see manufacturers pushing the amp envelope, but do existing products essentially meet the need of 98% or the market?
Is the transparent, powerful, affordable amp race really a solved problem?
