| Best Digital Amps One side is a great potential to get more power due to the high efficiency but in my listening experience I only heard the lack of one despite even of power ratings.I also heard about reliability issues with digital amps where the clocking circuit... | |

| Pass labs and Totems? Your Aleph 3 will try to get a bass responce from your speakers, but it actually can't supply a current to drive the bass even with low volume levels. It will result clipping. Pass amps as far as I know have soft clipping but still it's not sonica... | |
