Good Integrated Amp
I find this to be a good amplifier and I greatly appreciate its power, clarity, and versatility. I have no reservations about it and I am pleased to have it in my system.

My only regret is that it does not have RCA inputs. I would like to connect a phono amp directly into it, but that is my problem, not this amplifier's. This is a modern integrated amp that accepts Bluetooth and WiFi streaming, and phono is for dinosaurs--like me. With a DAC built in and COAX, OPT and USB inputs, this really is a versatile and advanced amplifier. It is very responsive to the remote control and the design is aesthetic: simple and pleasing. It is remarkably light for the rated power output and VERY convenient to use. I connected audio from a video projector via Bluetooth and was impressed by the quality of sound and the excellence of the connection. I was streaming videos and films with audiophile sound and quick and easy connection.

I have been able to stream from my computer, my laptop, my phones, and the phones of guests with quick and easy connections that provided stable wireless connection and audiophile-quality sound. I have also been able to connect a Topping electrostatic headphone amp that I also purchased through Audiophonics to it, and the sound is clean and clear.

I am happy with this purchase and will no doubt recommend this amplifier to friends.

I recently moved to France and wanted to buy French-built products for my new home and new life and I am very proud that this amplifier, which is advanced and of good quality is French. French-designed and French-built and in line with legendary French quality.
