So, the reviewer decides that 80 dB SINAD justifies a recommendation. I can’t see the justification. Of course a fifty year old guy running the 100 meters in 15 seconds does great. Would you consider lining him up in your relay team for the Olympics? I don’t think so… I don’t understand why everyone is hammering on SINAD score being the value most important to base judgement on and still saying; wow, nice score… I can’t help from seeing some biased recommending here. Please explain how this amp will help getting a great listening experience. Or is there some magic I’m not aware of? Imagine going through lengths to finally find that refurbished Denon AVC x3700h with AKM DAC’s, investing in proper cables and the best speakers, subscribing to TIDAL and deciding to get this amp to get your so desired 7.1.4 Atmos setup with driving your front left and right for the perfect stereo setup…. Only to find out through this review that, yes it is recommended, but also yes, it took your SINAD score down to making it useless for your lossless hires files to play.
Anyway, I still belief these measurements are great and wouldn’t hesitate one second to buy this 2nd hand myself as well, as these are widely available where I live and am more relaxed about SINAD. But I will not understand why it is recommended if it fails to run the 100 meters in, let’s say, about 10 seconds… And of course so many people cheering and not wondering what that fifty year guy was doing in the relay team even if he looked great and admired by the guy holding stopwatch….
