Need Advice & Need It Fast


Need an amp worthy of my Harbeth M30.1’s & Audeze LCD2F’s...Contenders:
Cayin CS55A..KT88 OR EL34 all tube..32/384 Internal DAC..Remote..Triode Tube Headphone..EASY to bias..Soft Start prolongs tube life...20wpc.Triode Strapped..40wpc.UL....
Peachtree Audio Nova 220SE...Class A/D Hybrid..24/192 Internal DAC..Remote..Triode Tube Headphone..MASSIVE power...
I was just about to pull the trigger on the Cayin when Underwood Wally listed several of the 220SE’s..I’ve only heard Class D long ago & it was horrible..I KNOW the Cayin will be wonderfully musical & it’s build quality is SUPERB but the thought of the simpler Peachtree is tempting to try,it’s cheaper to buy & to own...
So what do you folks think?

Class D from the likes of Hypex and ICE are magnitudes better than those of yesterday (PS Audio uses ICE and ATI uses Hypex). 
 
What is your budget and listening distance? The Nova is a solid performer.
There is a class D forum here which will be well worth your while to investigate. I’ve been using class D for over a decade, but have owned Rowland, Kinergetics, Parasound, Joule, Rogue, etc

Class Ds included several; PS Audio, W4S, Emerald Physics 100.2SE and currently Audio Alchemy stereo amp & dac/pre. The AA amp blows away the EPs, which I found thin in the mids. I am getting a full set of PS Audio; 700s and matching dac pre just to compare to my much loved AA amp//dac, as I have a big room and might benefit from more watts.

Of late, I discovered just how important cables and power cords are with class D. Now, I always used quality cables (Nordost, DHLab Revelations, pure silver from Clear Day Cables, PS Audio.., but class D is so dead quiet, with jet black backgrounds it is extremely revealing of cables and power cords! It has shown me that just because cables are expensive does not mean they are worth it. In my system, recently switching to WireWorld Eclipse series 7 and 8 has been a jaw dropping revelation

If your system has a lot of mains leakage (harmonics of 60Hz for Americans), then the WireWorld does perform better than generic cables (mostly due to the wiring technique and shielding, nothing magical). However, if your system has no electrical issues, then generic should perform just as well.
