Yes c5i is Class D ( as is Rogue Sphinx) but also all digital, all in 1.   There is phono and line level analog inputs though so external DAC could be used but frankly it has everything one might need save perhaps a MC phono input and it all sound...

Another good one that ones up for about $1k used on occasion is Bel Canto c5i. I have one and like it very much. If it did not work out Rogue was going to be my next choice but am happy with the smooth liquid sound of the c5i sans tubes. Never eve...

Just at a glance the unusual thing with that amps specs is it makes virtually no more power into 4 ohm than into 8. Looking at stereophile phase/impedance curve for the P3ESR, that is not the first amp I would choose for those speakers on paper. I...

@hilde45,It may well have been that Modwright headphone amp that was used in the CAF demo I heard. I think it was CAF 2018. 8 watts sounds about right as I recall, and that particular combo sounding so good as you describe at a pretty reasonable v... 
Review: Fritz Heiler’s Carrera BE Bookshelf Speakers
Nice review. Glad to see Fritz getting some fresh buzz.At their price point, and probably higher, the Carreras would probably be my top pick that I have actually heard for modest-size stand mounts due to their overall good sound and versatility wi... 
Discernment is bad. Self awareness is good.
They used to teach us in retail sales that when a customer walked in the store, your job was to find out why they did that and help them find what they were looking for.  IE listen to the customer and help them solve their problem.   Works with pe... 
The best speakers over 50K
Mbl but only if the right room.  
Poor Fritz
I spoke with him once.  Very nice guy not to mention great sounding and high value products.  Have only read and heard good things about him and deservedly so.
