I got the AL200 before a few weeks. I like it very much. Comparing it to Harman Kardon HK680 it sounds crisper, the imaging is, I think better than HK680 does. The highs are good, the mids too, and I say the bass is very good. On first listening it seems the HK is better in lows, but after a few songs I felt mudier, and not that defined as the AL200. The inbult DAC is also very good, on pair with AK4493 DAC's I have (SU-1, Sanskrit 10thg MKII). The speakers in test are: JBL 4311, L110A and L19A.
I compared it to Marantz 2216, 2230 and Tandberg TR200 too. I think the AL200 wins here again. There are details which I hear on AL200.
I have to say there is a quiet pop when changing inputs, but this is nothing you need to worry about. The playback is flawless.
For this money I can say go for it and you wont be dissapointed. This is the best amp+dac combo right now.
