Not specifically.

Technology moves on, as does our ability to measure what was previously unmeasurable. If we knew everything there was to know 50-100 years ago, nothing at all would have change.

iPad Pro, Hegel H600 amp.

I've been using Qobuz Connect constantly for the last three days, and not had a single issue. If you are getting issues, I suspect it's Marantz's implementation.

I didn't mention "mechanical drive", I said a CD transport is also a mechanical device.

The middle quote isn't mine. I don't care who you worked for or what as, you cannot tell me what I have experienced, even if you condescendingly try to.

Agreed. Too many just do it full stop.

You wouldn't be interested.

The original LS50 Wireless were Class D for bass and Class AB for HF...can't recall if the current ones are or not.

I had a similar experience when I swapped out a Pioneer DV-737 DVD player for a Teac VRDS 10 (both being used as a CD digital transport). The difference in bass performance was considerable!

Not long come back from someone's house who has an A8 and a Node Icon - both were played through his system, and the Icon sounded better. He said he's going to sell the A8.

I had a customer come to see me who had an M7 and P7 Kinki pre/power. While he liked it, he said it wasn't quite 'blowing his skirt up'. So I set him up a system to closely replicate his own, and while listening to the Hegel H400, he stood up, and it was like watching Marilyn Monroe - his skirt...

Agreed. To me it looks as though the OP has already made up his mind to change, but I'm not sure he realises just how good the amp is that he has got. I doubt any other amp in its price range can double its output down to 2ohms and remain stable, and with such a high damping factor. It will...
