I tried a Red Wine Audio Sig 30, it's based on the Tripath chip, last summer. I find it anything but lean and clinical. It's a keeper and I have 5 SET amps. It has a Dact attenuator so you can run a source straight into it or use it as a gain control and put a pre in front of it. I think digital amps have come a long way already. The RWA is battery powered and the thing that really gets me is how quiet the speakers are.
