Seeking best digital amp for $2000

Here's some interesting reading:

There are obviously some major players missing from the shootout, but it is interesting none the less.....

If I were in the market for a $1500-$2000 digital amp today, I would buy the Red Wine Audio Signature 30. I think Vinnie offers a money back trial period, so you can't go wrong.....

Enjoy,

I would look at Ric Schultz's 500 amp, he does some nice modding to the standard ICE chips, and can custom to your in/output needs. I think they are at $2000 new as well.

I always look for 30 day or more money back guarantees if it's possible. I'd look down that road for sure.

It is worth your time to audition the Bel canto e.one series. Not just because I own one, but many others like it as well. They are very accurate, detailed, smooth in the midrange, and great lower frequencies. However, they are somewhat unforgiving of poor sources, like bad vinyl and overly bright CDs. Although, that does depend on the rest of your system, especially the speakers. I hear the Channel Islands are similar. Both John and Dusty are great people and both are made in the USA. Both have a 30 day return policy. I always want to audition gear in my room before I commit to keeping it. Good luck!
