Guidocorona, you of all people, do really believe that the Red Dragon amps are at the same level as the Pass Labs .5 or XA series? Based on discussing Pass Lab amps with you on past threads, I find this somewhat surprizing.
Many of the ICE and other digital designs offer quite good performance for the money, some of them are not as inexpensive as they use to be, but do not offer the sonics of the higher end solid state designs, in my opinion.
I justed posted a comment on a recent review of the Pass LabsX-350.5 by Martin G. DeWulf that I think you will find both interesting and relevant to your thread.
Finally, I have heard a few of the most highly regarded ICE amps and thought they were ok, but their sonics did not come any were close to either the 350.5 or XA-100's performance, so I just be keeping my XA-100's at least for a little while longer.
