Expensive amp or cheap classdaudio?

I love my Nuforce Reference 9 V3SE's, and find them better in many ways than more expensive and heavier (in weight and cost) amps. The comments about cleaner,clearer, and quicker, with excellent bass dynamics and control are spot on. Also leaving them on all the time at 2 watts idle allows near instant listening. Many friends with great ears also agree and have traded high dollar stuff and kept these. But there is a substantial psychological barrier that heavier, more expensive and more inconvenient must equal better sound. Also greater attention needs to be paid to vibration and clean power with these light weight designs.

If you want to learn more about classdaudio, notably how it compares to a W4S amp, i suggest you to go on the audiocircle website,tapewrite " classdaudio" then go to the thread "120w.classD amp 175$" ,160 pages of tests and comparisons.

At home, it compares fully to my AYON TRITON II,extreme transparency,black silent background,extremely wide and deep scene,any very small mod of my system immediately audible,no need for a preamp, directly connected to my Weiss DAC2,tuby sound, no lack in high frequencies under the condition of a good choice for interconnects and ls cables ( low capacitance litz, unshielded)
The use of a mains cable made in litz wire instead of the standard one led to a very slight improvement in definition.

This amp is a pure bargain and those who believe this is a kind of compromise or only a good quality on price ratio are not right,this amp is so good that if you come to my home ,yu'll think this is a great named amp which is making music.

NuForce Ref9 V2SE's and a TRL Dude, unbelievably sublime sound.

Thanks to all who have posted responses. I didn't start the thread. Just thanking all of you who successfully got me interested in further research on this subject!
