For digital, I auditioned the PS Audio HCA2 and bought and used the BC Ref 1K for over 6months. Both of these amps were good and offered smooth, clean & clear sound but the soundstage were very shallow and does not give good spacial/locational information.
Then I got a Nuforce amp and after letting it burn in 24/7 non stop for over a month, I got the biggest, widest and deepest soundstage I have heard in my set up. If anything, I noticed soundstage deficiency in other set ups compared to mine. Like anything, any generalization will meet its exceptions and the Nuforce is definitely one of them.
