Need Advice & Need It Fast

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.

Have you tried the NAD mini-integrateds??

I’ve owned both the Nova Pre/220 combo and the 220se.  My brother still currently owns a Nova Pre/ 220.

My only complaints are relinility issues (Peachtree and Wally are both outstanding with customer service) and the volume control via the remote control goes from conversation level to zero with a slight touch of the volume level.

Apartfrom that, I’d definitely buy another 220se at that price.  It looks cool in my oppinon and it really does sound good.  I personally like the dac’s sound and the amp section has the power to push anything I have thrown at it.

I think you should buy it.  You’ll also be able to sell it secondhand later for not much loss at all so you can enjoy for a year or two and move on pretty easily.

Sorry but this is delusional

I have owned many entirely different systems over 3+ decades. The better the cables, the better the sound
