W4S SX-500 vs. new mAmp?

New mAmps live up to the advertising hype. They are smooth, powerful and refined. Hard to believe these amps have so much power and control given their size. Best I've ever heard? No but still very very nice. Incredible sound for the price. No comparision to the first generation of class D products.

Smholl, I think you posted the same question in audioasylum, so I'll repeat my response here:

I auditioned my friend's SX-500s in my system. I loved them so much I got ready to order them. I was recommended the the mAMPs instead. The mAMPs are supposed to be based on the latest ICE modules and use a newly redesigned input stage, with noticeable improvements; thats why I went with them instead of the SX-500s. Given my relatively efficient speakers in a small room I did not need the power of SX-1000s. I have not had a chance to do a direct A/B comparison between the SX-500 and mAMPs, but I suspect the mAMPs may have the edge.

I've had the Wyred 4 Sound DAC-2 running direct into a pair of mAMPs in my system for over a month now and they sound fantastic. A significant upgrade over a Cullen modded PS Audio chain: DL3 --> Trio C-100 they replaced. Dynamics (macro and micro), details, bass performance, etc. have improved significantly.

Hi, was wondering if you'd had enough of a chance to directly compare the older SX500 and your new mamps and what the results were?

Just received mAMPS the other day. Haven't had the time to hook them up.
I will compare them to my SX1000s next week.
Wyred always has better parts, layouts and sound than the competition at each price point.
Still have my Trio C100 in my wife's systen driving her Silverline Minuet Supreme+s. Very good amp.
