Great conversation! Especially at the 40:00 mark for about 8min Jonathan asks the tough question to Dylan and the back and forth is great! Dancing all around the old adage “you’re only as strong as your weakest link” and Outlaw amps is looking to strengthen a Home Theater link. Great conversation!
I've been on a quest to figure out which d-class amp to add to my home theater. I gotta say, Dylan / Buckeye have the perfect design philosophy for my needs. For example, the dimensions. 13 inches deep is exactly what I need for my home theater. I don't have room for deep, rack-mount gear. The plain but solid cases. No BS buffer options. Boom. It's just an amp and it fits in my BDI cabinet. Thank you for making this product exist!
Would love to see you try and get Dennis Murphy and his Philharmonic Speakers on the podcast. His business plan is unique and Audioholics James Larson has reviewed them very favorably over the years as well as Erin. Beautiful speaker designs with expensive parts yet the final product is very affordable.
The Linkplay ecosystem is also a viable streaming option. It would be like having a WiiM Mini in the unit along with a decent lowish-power DAC, then the control of the Linkplay streaming module is via the Linkplay app.
Hey Ryan … class D is not digital … it’s still 100% ANALOG … just, because of fundamentally different way of utilizing output transistors, it’s lot more efficient than class A / AB
It seems most conversation is around home theater for Hypex / Purifi. I am only interested in 2 channels for music. Was thinking of Schiit Saga S with the 2 channel Purifi to drive my floor standers. The new integrated sounds interesting. Any reason for me to stay away from Buckeye Amps strictly for music?
when will it be released? I mean the integrated. Please don't missunderstand me. But Dylan seems to me absolutely fresh with his ideas for the future. Like a little child who have do make its experiences. And Ryan seems to me a little negative. Between this to it will be the right way I think.
HT bypass would be a must for me to buy an integrated amp. My Simaudio integrated has one and it allows me to run my Integrated amp on its own without all the processing and electronics of a receiver. While running the receiver the Simaudio then acts as my front speaker amp taking a load off the receiver. If you are a big 2ch music listener but still enjoy surround sound a bit you can have a more modestly priced receiver and not worry about the quality of its DACs, amps, and processing getting in the way of your music.
All watts are not the same. Amps don’t just put out power, they control driver movement. Some control the driver movement with more precision. Class A biased amplification when used in stereo gives more precision, detail, 3-dimensional holographic imaging, and fills in the missing information that class D amps skip over. Anyone that says class D is close to class A with regards to quality of sound hasn’t heard a system that is set up properly to create a 3-dimensional sound stage. And the rumor that subwoofers will work fine with class D amplifiers have never heard bass and sub bass that images out on the sound stage. Perhaps in a home theater it doesn’t matter…..
I stand corrected. Thanks for that! It still represents an amazing value at $1K on sale. I’d absolutely still take it over the tonewinner prepro, personally speaking. I appreciate Denon’s stability, history, and bells and whistles.

That’s awesome! Glad you are enjoying your amp. We are excited to have Dylan and Buckeye exhibiting at MWAVE 2024.

Even 2500$ for that Purifi based 2-ch integrated would be a steal imo!
Great discussion from all sides. Well done gentlemen.
Does It have the auto on-off sensing?

Dylan from Buckeye Amps has 2-ch Purifi based power amp. I have that. No regrets. Take a look at his web site.

Hope it was a good stream 😊
Do you guys make rack mount amps
By integrated does Dylan mean the amps power supply is integrated vs using the hyped module?
Integrated means preamplifier and power amplifier in the same chasis.
All watts are not the same. Amps don’t just put out power, they control driver movement. Some control the driver movement with more precision.
Class A biased amplification when used in stereo gives more precision, detail, 3-dimensional holographic imaging, and fills in the missing information that class D amps skip over.

A double blind A/B test would be fun
@@Youthman I guess it would all be dependent on a person’s reference and audible memory abilities. Experience comes into play as well.
AoIP is far from plug and play. It has its advantages but ease of use is far from one of them.
Wich are the dimensions of the case?
Why have Buckeye Amps choose to only report peak power of the amps?
Dylan mentioned to us that peak power on his amps is held for 10 full seconds. That is abnormally long and GREAT.
The Denon 3800H processes 11 channels not 13 let Johnathan know this.
I stand corrected. Thanks for that! It still represents an amazing value at $1K on sale. I’d absolutely still take it over the tonewinner prepro, personally speaking. I appreciate Denon’s stability, history, and bells and whistles.
@@jvonengeln yes sir I have one 😀
I was literally under the assumption people were making their own shit. Wow
Huh???
Apple Vision Pro is comming. Maybe it will be very soon obsolete to have a home theater.
Hahahahahahahahaa 😂
Yeah…I don’t think so
😂
My product is Better… other companies are crap 🙄
