Bada DC-225

I was hoping that perhaps somebody has upgraded from the Bada DC-222 and would have some input on the new model? I know it's rated as Class A for the full 95 watts, but I'd think it'd be much larger to be able to pull this off?

I had the older model and it was an incredibly good value. I replaced it with a $4K tube amp and the Bada really gave up nothing. I would purchase it without hesitation. If I were on a tight budget, I'm pretty sure that would be what I would buy.

Thanks Chayro! It does sound like an incredibly great deal, and I'm even more convinced after watching a demo on Youtube of the components that make up the piece.

I am on a budget, and pretty dizzied by all of the choices for new gear and then finding some nice used gear on Audiogon!

I don't know if any of the Badas are available used, but Pacific Valve is great to deal with and gives you a year warranty. If the thing goes a year without breaking, chances are it's going to last many years. While you're at the site, I would definitely look into the Doge 6 CD player. For $2500 total, you will have an amp/cd combo that will compete easily with systems costing twice as much.
