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
