Burson Bang: anyone?

Anyone have this amp or know anything about it. Building a desktop system--PS Sprout, NAD 3020 are possibilities, but I'm intrigued by the Burson. Comments?

tune-ability via opamp changes... is a big factor.

This is not set and forget territory. This is about being twitchy and having fun with being twitchy. An eye opener for folks who have never done this sort of thing before. A big and important step in evolution, in my thinking.

Understanding audio and understanding musical qualities.... as tied to the innards of gear and changes in said innards... is a critical step in one’s audio evolution, IMO.

I have and own some of Bursons discrete op-amp replacement kits and they are fantastic sounding and build quality is top notch. I also found them vey good to deal with. my first order got lost in shipping and they sent me a second set with out question and they dealt with the shipping company for a refund. I would defiantly buy from them again. Sorry I have not heard anything else from them but wanted to pass on my good experience with the company.

Went with the Sprout 100. It's very, very good, right out of the box. Definitely a bit brighter than the tube amp it replaced, but very clean, very clear, plenty of power (pushing Monitor Audio Bronze 2s). Nice wide soundstage. Tried phono, analog (driven by Schiit Modi Multibit), and optical (driven by Chromecast Audio). All sound really good. Was picking up some (probably) RF noise when it was set for the phono stage. On/off/bass knob is a bit quirky trying to get it to do what you want it to. Remote helps. 
This is my first class D amplifier and it's very listenable.
