Nuforce

cheaper alternative for Nuforce, great sound for the buck:

im not interested in digital amps but a friend of mine reviewed a couple of them and this Audiomatus was in the same league as the others, except its price. see, its made in poland and its priced for he local market. in this case one pays for the sound, and not for famous name or sth. and the build quality is great, especially with their wooden front version.
from what i heard, Belcanto (evo4 bridged or sth) sounded worse than Audiomatus... if im not mistaken, Belcanto uses Tripath chip, and Audiomatus ICE-power modules.
i heard some more opinions which all seemed to support what i found out from my friend.

>Redkiwi the comparison between Audiomatus and Nuforce- pretty close, but Audiomatus was supposedly better. i couldn't care less :)

"Any particular reason you are not interested in digital amps?"
in my opinion they still do not sound as good as a good mosfet amp can for example.

"If a digital amp sounded better than your current amp would you still rule it out on some grounds?"

no place for that, see. i own ATC passive speakers with their integraded. it does sound great, and the way to upgrade for me is to go for active ATC SCM50s or 100s, no separate amp within reasonable cost limits could match this active package.

"The only one that I can imagine is that with the rate of development then resale price could be problemmatic, but I suspect that is not it.."

its a cheap technology and slowly people are realizing it, so the prices are slowly falling. for e.g. JRDG prices for its digital amps seem to be absurd in comparison with some alternatives...
