Yes I have heard the current Coda and also heard the Dartzeel. The Coda did not need much tweaking in my system to sound good. The Dartzeel was the opposite, it needed more tweaking, however; once both amps are tweaked for a given system, it was my experience that the Dartzeel was in a different league than the Coda and I do mean different. The Dartzeel in my system was the best SS amp I've heard in my system and the Coda did not place anywhere in the top 10. I do not own the Dartzeel for obvious reasons, I can afford it, but would not pay that type of money for an amp. A better substitute for the Dartzeel would be a Plinius Class A amp, any model. Great Value. Probably my next amp, own a Krell presently.
Dartzeel NHB-108 v Coda S5
Interesting article in this mnths Stereophile after the rave Wes gave the Dartzeel, he states that he like the Coda amp better.
Considering it is 4k and can be bridged it sounds very promising. Dartzeel at close to 20k does not seem like good value, but probably the Coda is too cheap for some philes to try it out.
Anyone heard the current Coda amps??
