I also have a Nova 300, and it is a great amp (especially when you consider the cost factor). It doesn't sound sterile, it can really crank if you need it to, and has lots of bells and whistles if you need an integrated solution. This said, I have moved it to my bedroom as I wanted to work on more of a tube sound in my listening room. Before I moved it to the bedroom, I had it fed via the USB-B with a Mac Mini that I had all my music in FLAC's on Audirvana Plus using volume bypass, and HTB as I was sharing my mains with the HT and my 2-channel listening. My goal was to break the system into 2 separate systems that are co-located as I have added speakers and a DAC and preamp thus far. Still deciding on the tube amp, so I haven't completed the new setup yet.
For the money, the Nova amps are a pretty good deal IMO. I realize I'm a bit fickle and make changes too quickly, but I won't get rid of the Nova as it'll work well in either my bedroom or garage setups. It's worth keeping I'd say.
