Value Master

After my veteran Denon amplifier has gradually abandoned by the spirit needed a new amplifier. Looking for recommendations for solid used equipment I have come across in various hi-fi forums about the rave reviews the TDA7492 ICs and have looked after little negative voices to find the model were ordered by SMSL. In my case, was shipped directly from Amazon and so the supply difficulties described by other clients remained spared me.

Performance: I run the amplifier to 2 self-made boxes and had not previously dared to get the maximum performance, because my neighbors would probably hate me forever ... otherwise loud enough for every application, in which neighbors nearby are ,

The sound is excellent, very precise and a lot better aufgelößter and drier bass than my old "fully grown" amplifier. Caution here, however: The amplifier reveals unsparingly all the weaknesses of 128kbit mp3 and boxes and poor audio outputs.

What is especially good for my Anwendugszweck: The amplifier is not in operation yet in Standby really warm and so consumes very little power. I actually throughout it turned on the computer, which probably means my last amplifier to death will be in an IC with standby shutdown hardly a problem.

The case is solid but not absolutely precise and that made the blue lighting around the volume control looks nice, but is meant to be seen only in the dark. Personally I like this because I'm so not disturbed by a steady light. Whether the amplifier is on or off, can be determined reliably even on mechanical switch.

All in all a buy recommendation for this award will be found hardly anything even close comparable!
