Pass X350.5 vs Rowland 302

The Rowland is an ICE module based amp. It has plenty of power to run your speakers. IMHO the Pass has a better power supply, analog, rather than digital, as in the Rowland. Put the best of both together, and what do you have? an MH2O Signature, that's what. Read the recent H2O review here at Agon.

Muralman, the Rowland 201 and 501 use digital power supplies. The 302 uses a custom analog switching power supply as far as I know. That is why it weighs over 90 lbs instead of less than 20.

According to the respective web sites, the Pass Labs X350.5 has a max output current of 20 Amps, the Rowland 302 has a max output current than 45 Amps. In theory at least this should mean that it can drive better difficult loads. For what it matters, a dealer I have contacted recently suspects that Rowland 302 may be a slightly better product than Pass X350.5.
