Here we have a tasty piece of hi-end Japanese hi-tech-ery ...
An Esoteric AZ-1 DAC / class-D amp.
You want warm & cuddly? - then you need to look elswhere!
Clear, lucid and hugely enjoyble - I just love class D switching amps. :) I've never heard a bad one.
Digital and analog inputs - so just feed your digital stream staright in. ;)

And my latest pride & joy ... a pair of Audio Physic Virgo II speakers. A real toughie to set up in my room - very finicky about placement - but I've pretty much got there now & these are keepers for the nonce. My old speakers are sold already!

The AP by-line is "No loss of fine detail" - damn right there! :) I must confess that I am now curious about larger AP speakers - these don't have the low-end welly of the 10 inchers in my old SD1s ....
