I am also interested in this amp. I gave it an audition and liked it-imaging, sound stage, not fatigueing. However, this was literally right out of the box, and it is supposed to benefit from being plugged in for 24 hours, so maybe I will like it even more. It would also help if I was auditioning them with my own speakers. I could do without the bluelight and don't have a need for the phono stage or headphone jack.
I have read a few comments about Hypex treble sounding veiled or strange, should this be a concern?
