I had Nuforce Reference 9 V3 but think they lack some "flesh" on music, Bel Canto and a Halcro MC20 were a little bit better but not perfect to my ears. I have now two Lindemann Musicbook 55 bridged and love everything they give from low to highs and for the holographic soundstage.This brand is famous in germany and Europe, if you have an occasion to listen I think you apreciate.
