I've run mine on test at rated power 120w/Chan two chans driven, for 30 mins 0.005%THD, it can work like this all day long no stress at all. MØRCH DP-8 Anisotropic Tonearm - Follow-up reviews, analog, tonearms. Power, THD, and Frequency Response are of course benchmark, as is the sustained RMS power.

This is done to ensure linearity through the crossover area, eliminating transistor non-linearity and crossover distortion, while managing manageable thermal to a low levels. Hi-bias on the output stage, allows Class-A operation up to about 5watts A/B above that power. I love this amp, I was using Crown before this, and Hitachi HMA-7500 which I love, however the M-4 is still a favorite of mine, and the Martin Logan's speakers really love it.Īmp topology full differential input from a single ended input using current mirrors to ensure clean audio all the way to the staggered output stage, with HiFt transistors. This amplifier seems a little on the warm side, when listening. I say this because some speakers can present some pretty tough loads to the amp, (impedance's) and require a ton of power to maintain control. It’s impressive how Creative managed to create such a compelling device at such a low price. Then it also has the SXFi effect on top of it which adds fun.

Really, just by saying this I’m saying it’s a keeper.

This is to me the personification of a great amp. The SXFi AMP is a great small DAC/amp on its own: it is small, it is well built, it has lots of power and volume control right on it.
