Fair question Husk01... We won't know anything about M925 heat generation/dissipation until the amp is released. G. 
Reference DACS: An overall perspective
Pupil57, there seems to be now a clear trend toward flexible front end devices that supply both digital inputs and outputs.... Example is the Esoteric K-01 and K-03 I believe. Furthermore, manufacturers that have traditionally stayed out of the fr...

Ldworet, the Maggies 3.6 will be powered more than comfortably by any class D amp that features the ICEpower 1000 ASP module.... or has more or less equivalent power/current ratings. The issue is.... Which class D amp you will enjoy the most.... L... 
Which Bel Canto or Mac SS amp works w Mag 3.6?
On current Bel Canto lineup, the most powerful amps are the REF1000M monoblocks.... 500W into 8Ohms, 1000W into 4 Ohms. They are based on ICEpower 1000 ASP power conversion modules. The Ref1000M should drive the 3.6 completely effortlessly with a ...

Dtanclim, as you know I do not have direct experience with M625 in my own system.... My amp is still the Rowland M312. Furutech and Shunyata CX series worked for me remarkably well on M312 in a manner that I personally deem to be synergistic with ...

Keith, as far as I know there is little or no commonality between 150W 10-year old M10 and 300W M625, except that both operate in class A/B, and use some forms of SMPS.I have no real information whether Rowland has "abandoned" class D or not. Fact...

Dtanclim, I noticed the spheres when I was at the last RMAF.... I asked Jeff Rowland about them. He told me that the spheres are made from Delrin, and he prefers their sonic effect to that of the traditional Sorbothane pads. I do not know if the a...

Husk, the delivery schedule will be set only after the product is released. I have no hard information about release schedule. If anyone attends CES, they may ask Jeff or Brandon directly at the JRDG suite. Any info from them has a lot more value ...

Arnie, Kawika promised me that, if I behave on Audiogon for the next little while, he will visit me in a few weeks and will bring his M625 along so we can listen to it in my own system.... Want to join us? It will be loads of fun! G.
