It's got some favorable reviews and is quite flexible in loading and gain settings. The prior model is the Aleph Ono, which is a one box design. Much cheaper used. Reviewers say they can hear a difference between the two, though. Both have balanced and unbalanced output connections. Good luck.

New or used or does it matter? I hear the Boulder unit is nice if you have $20,000 or so to spend. There are very fine choices at lower price points but it is kind of fruitless to make suggestions unless we know your budget.
