You can get the amp alone for $6500 with no DAC or Phono. I like that because then people like you that already have a DAC or Phono they love (or perhaps would like one with more features or performance) can go that route.
@ Yes, I known. But you said something like ‘take everything in it’. And I disagree with that choice. Anyhow, thanks 🙏 for the review, it’s a great amp indeed, but I also consider the Gato 150 amp.
@@jos5067 That's why they make it with multiple options. However I still like the amp best with all the options installed, because I feel that this product is more aimed at someone wanting an all in one box. And I think it provides more value as an all in one box. Not everyone wants to have a rack full of gear. We have a lot of readers that have been asking for more reviews for products like this. If it's not your cup of, that's ok!
@@toneaudio178I agree with you, but on the other hand: I can choose a better separate DAC, like a Chord, or Holo May. The amp is certainly on my shortlist.
It actually does a decent job with the new 2.7X's I have here. It won't do brain damage levels, but in a modest room at modest levels, ok. I suspect most people wouldn't pair this up with a pair of Magnepans anyway.
Gsi 75 was my favourite with quads👍
I’m only in streaming and would prefer a better separate DAC, like the Holo Cyan 2.

Very cool Amp. 👍
Excellent 👌
Can we have a sound test?
We just don't do that. I really don't believe you can tell how something sounds, by capturing it with a mic. Sorry.
Won’t drive Magnepans properly at 50 watts per channel.

No sub out.
Use a REL then you don't need line level... :)
