How it sounds it my #1 criteria but I do like to see wide bandwidth that is flat beyond audibility. Low noise, low distortion…. But none of it matter’s if it doesn’t sound good
I was looking for a small integrated and stumbled across the Cyrus i7-XR …. I am blown away by how good this little amp sounds. It is very good on paper but I was shocked in that it really surpassed my expectations
I bought it to try, but it sounds so good I’m keeping it
