Digital amps overhyped ?

I am looking for a new amp for my aerial's, I would love to get a classe 5200 but it is over my budget, I just read a glowing reveiw of the wired for sound amp, but I read conficting opinions on ice powered amps, also, I see a lot of them for sale on audiogon, since the wired for sound amp is a buy direct from company , I have no way of auditioning it, I do not want to go to the hassle of shipping it back if I don't like, the bottom line is, should I avoid ice power amps, I have been burned in the past on over hyped audio purchases, opinions?, thanks

I replaced my Spectral system with Bel Canto S300 and
PRE3 and have not regretted it one bit.
You have to give these amps ample time to burn in.
It took mine about six months. I think a lot of those sold
have not been given this time.

Classe30,don't take any offense,but 7 times 26 weeks or 6 months comes to 182 hours. This is about right for me. The point I was
making to the gentleman was it does need a little time to
break in.
