My new VTV Audio Class D amp arrived today

@whitestix — as an owner of a DNA 0.5 RevA I’d be very interested in how the VTV compares to your DNA and the differences between them.  Thanks in advance!

I just bought a VTV Purifi Eval 1 that will arrive tomorrow. The company seems to have their act together and I’d rather buy from an American manufacturer. I didn’t envision getting mixed up with a confusing array of upgrades so this model was attractive to me. 

rtorchia,
Good for you, I hope you enjoy it.  I haven't swapped my McCormack SS amp in place of the VTV amp yet, but I did with my Don Sachs KT88 tube amp.  The VTV is a very neutral sounding amp, while the Sachs amp is emblematic of the very best tube amplification, of which everyone knows the characteristics they have.  I enjoy them both very much and don't need to chose one over the other.  However, in the blistering hot summer here in the Central Valley of California, the VTV amp will stay in the system. 

@rtorchia   Any impressions of the eval 1?

Thank you for initiating this thread. I am interested in the VTV class-D amplifiers (Probably the Purifi Eval-1) and wanted to see whether you had any further comparisons with your McCormack DNA-.5? I owned a DNA-1 in the past, and thought that it was a "muscular" and neutral sounding amplifier. Is the sound of your VTV amplifier comparable in soundstage to the McCormack? I currently have an Audio Research D130 with a Schiit Freya+ which I run in tube mode for critical listening. I'm hoping to gain a little more "omph" for my Magnepan LRS and Proac 2.5s.
