Best Integrated, period.

guidocorna,

yes I have.it does have the Pass's house sound,but nothing extraordinary.....i think it is more for people who wants to have a taste of pass sound without having to spend so much more.

In short,respectable but certainly far from spectacular[to these ears of mine,I should add]

Cayin 265ai....best kept secret on the market!

Hifisoundguy, unless you tell us a little more, the Cayin is likely to remain the secret it has remained up to now. . . back to you. G

Do the posters,that mentioned Dussun,Nad,Cayin and the like really believe they are the equivilent ( or better )then the S.O.T.A. Integrated's stated in this forum?
Just because you may own or like a product doesn't make it a contender when going against some of the heavyweights.
The OP asked "Best Integrated ,Period"
While there is no best of anything,please be realistic when with your answers.

Cayin 265ai is one of the best that I have ever heard and I have heard a lot over the years at a lot of shows! Here's a review.. http://www.hometheaterhifi.com/volume_11_1/cayin-265ai-integrated-amplifer-3-2004.html
