I will be trying the $99 Teac A-L700P amplifier, which is a Tripath unit. I don't know if it's in the same league as a Panasonic SA-XR50, but if one wants to fork out the least green to try a digital amp, this is the way to go.I just want to get an idea if there's potential in the technology. I did listen to a Spectron and TACT amp about five years ago. I was not impressed at all with the Spectron, but the TACT had a beguiling "tube-like" character. But I thought it was overly "dark" sounding.
I will do a comparison to the $200 Samson Servo 260, my current "budget" reference. Likely in the "B" system, with the efficient Athena AS-F2 speakers. The Samson made me sell my Marsh A200S amplifier, to give you an idea of the performance level I'm dealing with here.
