I am very interesting in this THX amp but it ships way too slow, especially once monoprice stucks up on their own THX amp which will be a great competitor I'm sure. Wonder which of both will be better
Kind of an apples and oranges situation honestly. The Monoprice THX 788 Monolith will have built-in dual AK4493 DACs along with dual THX 788 amp modules. It will not feature dedicated balanced line outs and will be more of an all-in-one, stand alone solution. It's peak power output is less than the 789 as well, although still more than enough for most people.
The 789, as a balanced amp, is for those who already have a quality DAC source and want to use it to feed some of the (supposedly) best amplifier hardware ever made.
I'm interested in both, for different applications.
