You didn't mention what version of the La Scala's you have. Are they a older pair or the latest versions???

Why no Class D integrated love? (from manufacturers)
clarinetmonster2,The Rogue uses Hypex UcD 400 modules. Yes, I know, older class D technology. But the Rogue has a tubed pre section and actually sounds quite good. Using Mullard NOS 12au7 tubes seem to make this amp a lot sweeter sounding than the...

Bluesound Node 2i & Ayre Codex - How would this work?
