Altmann BYOB vs. Audiosector Patek vs. 47 Labs


Has anyone compared these 3 low-powered chip amps?
Altmann BYOB
Patek
47 Labs

Which would be the most dynamic running a 4" single driver speaker which has no x-over and an efficiency of 88dB? I listen at 60-80dB.
I would like clarity and detail but chip amps have a reputation for lack of dynamics, thin sound, and grainy. Which of these 3 amps would minimize these problems?

All good stuff you probably can't go wrong with. The BYOB will do what you need and honestly, I do not believe it is a chip amp. I'm no expert so I may be wrong, but despite its looks, I think it is a traditional amp. It is also mighty powerful and better sounding than a lot of stuff out there.

I was thinking about giving one of Pete's amps a try -- maybe one of his newer Patek integrateds. I would love to try one out for a while. Best,
