  It sounds pretty musical.   I also have Crown Xls 2502 but it is no match with Starkrimson in refinement at all.

    Pretty deep soundstage and fast sound. I believe that Orchard is a really nice class D amp at reasonable price.

  If you tune the sound with tube pre, Starkrimson sounds pretty nice. I use Sylvania vt231 at input Amperex at buffer in Schitt Freya+ just in front of Starkrimson for balanced output.

I started home audition of  Starkrimson ultra stereo amp two days ago.   It sounds much better than my expectation.   I will keep it updated of the progresss.   Thomas  
Ideon DAC's
I had auditioned both Absolute and Ion Dac at home.   Although Absolute belongs to the elite class of Dac,  Ion could be better value.   Ion approach 80 % of performance at less than half price.     Server was Aurender N20. Thomas  
Grimm MU1 Streamer - Really "The Best"?
@lordmelton    I use separate isolation transofrmer for N30.   Even though N20 is a better value, I do not regret buying N30.   Thomas  
Grimm MU1 Streamer - Really "The Best"?
+1 @lordmelton   After auditioning Aurender N20 at home, I bought N 30 which I am happy.with   But N20 is a good value.   N 30 give very slight more details and clarity but may not be worth twice money.   Thomas
