Odyssey Stratos

Have anybody had experience in direct comparison between Odyssey Stratos and some highly regarded integrated amps, particularly Creek 5350SE, Musical Fidelity A3, Simaudio Moon I-5, Plinius 8100/8150i, Bryston B-60. I'm interested in impression from the direct AB comparision of sound character and sound quality. Also, one of the comments for Stratos at audioreview.com mentioned that it cause a low level noise can be heard if you get close to speakers. Does there anybody else have comments on background noise either from amp itself or speakers? From the reviews I read, seems like Odyssey is very good communicating with customers. I sent a e-mail to them three or four days ago and haven't got any feedback yet.
