FYI.....you might want to look at 10 audio.com.....he reviewed the C298 and did not think it was that great......then he reviewed another amp from VTV with additonal mods (from me) that uses the same Purifi module........he likes it much better. Everything you do makes a sonic difference. If you think you know what a class D....or an IcePower or a Purifi or whatever sounds like by listening to one example.....then you are not really wanting to KNOW.....This game is infinite.....Enjoy.
Digital amplifier fans, NAD C298 Purifi Eigentakt
I have a tube amp, an A/B amp and now I'd like to experiment with a D amplifier. I would like something from a big name company for build quality, warranty and reputation. I would also like some heft in terms of watts and the ability to get close to doubling output from 8 to 4 ohms. I like NAD's C298, especially price wise but it seems a little lite on wattage. I know I am not describing exactly what I want with sound signature and so forth, but I'd like some names of amplifiers that might meet the wattage, say 300 or above and be below the $3000 mark. Perhaps such a beast doesn't exist except with the boutique manufacturers? With some suggestions, I can then do a little research to see if it fits the bill.
Thanks in advance!
