I really like it and the room calibration was very easy and works really well(99% calibrated).
A couple of comments though...
First, I find that the Classe is more configurable overall than the MP-50. A lot more different settings and configuration options in the menus. Not that I needed all of them, but they were there if I did.
Second, initially I found the detail and soundfield of the mp-50 to be crazy good, but after a while noticed that some of the body that the classe had was not there; plus was a bit fatiguing. Wasn’t sure if it was the result of the room correction or just the house sound of the lyngdorf. I changed the powercord out to a Audioquest Hurricane that I had been using on my renderer and all of a sudden it was there again. The body and fullness I had before plus the hi def soundfield.
Overall I am very happy with it as a home theater processor.
BTW- I did compare the two channel capabilities of the Lyngdorf and internal Dac to my Gryphon Diablo 300 and Chord Dave DAC to see what would happen. The gryphon with the chord was a lot better, but I would have been amazed if it had not been.
How about you? Thoughts?
