Digital Amps. How good are they?


Just wondering if anyone has auditioned any of these amps. I know Dunlavy uses Spectron Amps to audion some of their speakers at shows. Other amps are from Bel Canto, Tact,Jeff rowlands. some of the reviews are highly positive

Got my Bel Canto EVO today my first impressions are very favorable. To the extent I maybe ready to sell my Pass Labs& my BC 2's. They have only been playing for 12 hrs.!! The manual says that 40 hrs. are the most noticeable,but require about 200 all together. These amps are going to revolutionize amps the way we know them.
I've got one coming for in home demo to try.I'll let you guys know the results.The Bel Canto that is.
I'm at 90 hrs. now with the Bel Canto. One thing about this amp I'm not sure I like is it is exremely revealing,if you play a cd that's just a hair less than perfect this amp ruthlessly brings it to your attention. Maybe that will change as break in continues, I hope so, as this is a real world and not all cds are audiophile quality.A little more forgiving please.
Sedond, I don't do vinyl. But have been considering it. Do you think that vinyl is a better match w/ a revealing amp such as the Bel Canto EVo? This thing is very accurate,allmost to the point of overly analytical, very dynamic and forward. Maybe they would work better w/ hungry speakers. My Talon's are 90.5 db.
