Yeah well they are very good. However depending on your speakers they do lose out to tube amps in the midrange. Those with revealing speakers will find the sound a bit too cold and thin at least that is from my listenings. I could live with it if I hadn't heard tubes in my system. I won't get into the "but it sounds like a tube amp to my ears" because it doesn't. There is a smoothness that I would associate with valves but these digital amps so far just don't have that robust flavor in the mid range. They are 99% true to the recording though which should appease those types of audiophiles.
