I’ll resurrect this thread, because I had a P5 and I now have the Hint 6. The P5 had a lot of features for the money but the sound was a little bit too warm, at least to my ears. The Hint has better sonics, and is closer to neutral while still having a touch of warmth. The bass management hasn’t changed from the P5, it’s really well done.
I am pretty impressed with the Hint. I had read some less than positive reviews of the hint after I ordered it. I wasn’t sure what I was in for, but the sonics, the power, and the features are all so well done. Then there is the looks. Very classy, and the vented casework is so much better than the P5. As is the volume knob. On the P5 it wiggled like it was loose. I returned it for another unit but that one wiggled too, so I just kept it.
