Purifi v Gan amps?
My Audiophonics hpa-s400et Purifi amplifier isn't boring, has excellent 3D imaging with no paper cutouts. Sounds neutral, detailed, and smooth/natural sounding. I will add that I use BACCH-4MAC-Pro. So I might be cheating a tad!

@nquery I have the Pass Labs XA25 which is single ended aswell, but honestly, it's sounds beyond superb to me. No chip dac I've heard has what the May has. Also, I ditched HQplayer, as it didn't do anything for me, personally, but that's just me. ... 
eBay / PayPal: Beware - enough is never enough.
I've never had any issues with 100s of transactions on ebay. This isn't ebay, but you knew that already   Didn't you.Oh, and on several occasions I've paid off my account and received a refund to my account.  Each time I've received a check in the... 
Where are the young audiophiles?
46, here, I know... I'm a young noob, but most retail audio establishments sucked anyway circa >2000. Glad they are being replaced by a lower priced direct sales models with more integration of features in one single box.  I'm amazed by the LS5...

@b345T I run unbalanced source direct to my Pass Labs XA25 amplifier using Roon as the volume control.  Sound is excellent.  If I could have ran balanced I would have, but the XA25 supports single ended.

Legacy Audio Focus SE compared to the Legacy Aeris Speakers
I just ordered a pair of Whisper XDS, but this thread is making me wish I went with the Aeris the way you all gush about them. I'll admit I really prefer the looks of the Aeris, but I went with the Whispers intentionally for the open air bass, but... 
EXTRA! EXTRA!! Millercarbon Proven Wrong!!! Read all about it! EXTRA! EXTRA!!
Are you writing a novel, because you've lost the plot. Tldr 
Which amplifier should i buy
Cary, you will regret.  
What is everyone using for dedicated AC lines???
I climbed my utility pole in the dead of night to run dedicated twisted effective 7awg to the transformer and was blown to bits. I am a ghost sent here to warn you not to try it.  
Raise your acoustic panels or die
I just lost a loved one from lazy and low acoustic panel placement. Don't let this be you.

Sounded like bliss to me out of the box compared to any chip based DAC I've ever heard. It's not subtle either.  I'm not much for breaking in components, but then I've not encountered anyone who had a bad initial experience with their may.

@mgrifI I think it was Hans Beekhuyzen youtube review of the May that mentions the Mola Mola Tambaqui briefly, but don’t quote me.

@nquery Yes, he’s very backed up I’m afraid. They are inundated with orders. This includes my query which is several days old and 2 reviewers seeking to review the May Dac KTE. Usually he’s about 2 days behind, but I fear he’s even more behind atm...
