Terms :
1) "Dual Mono" : Refers to an Amp which has discrete sections for the Right and Left channels with different power supplies. This amp uses two Pascal modules for each channel
2) "Balanced" refers to amplifiers which generally utilise 3-pin XLR plug connections, in this case with the pre amplifier input. The Balanced topology has an extra cable with in phase and out of phase hot wires, which cancel the noise between components when the phase flips back. It offers a slight improvement in sound to RCA plugs which only have one hot (signal carrying wire) such that if both components are balanced, sound quality is improved.
3) "Class D" - In lay terms a class A or AB amp has an output stage which is always on. With class D there are pulses at the output stage of the amp which tends to me cooler running and greater energy efficiency
**Please don't ask me how a product compares to another which I haven't reviewed, as it isn't possible to comment on such products I haven't tested. Check out my website for reviews of products I have completed instead (hit the review tag, and separate tags)
**2 If you are asking me how does X product compare to Y that I HAVE reviewed, or how does something sound beyond comment in videos, or system advice, I’m asking my viewers to donate to my project. The sum isn’t really too important at the moment, it is more the principle, since it shows viewers value my independence and if viewers want opinions and advice where you benefit from this, I think it is fair to ask for contributions where my time is taken away from reviews. Also I can't answer all questions on YT anyway. I am happy to engage and answer other product related questions on KZfaq where appropriate and of course, engage with my audience.

A DAC? I don’t do scale or star ratings really as something else always comes along. It’s so tough to rate that way. I’d just say that it is a competitive product of all things tried so far.

Thanks a lot for your efforts and knowledge sharing - very informative, fun and helpful! I’ve got an idea I’d like to have your opinion on. My current setup is NAD M10, KEF LS50 Meta & KEF KC62 and I’m curious what adding a good power amp will bring. I have to accept less ideal speaker placement & room acoustics, but Dirac is a good aid in this respect. Do you think it will be worth while adding a Mytek Brooklyn amp? In addition, I’m wondering if I can still use Dirac then. Thanks and greetings from the Netherlands, Laurens

A bit late to the party with this one (blame last Saturday's weather and local pub garden!) I can't really comment on the amp as I've yet to hear a class D amp of any description, but what I can say is that those Monitor Audio speakers look sexy as hell! (especially on those stands). Thanks for posting Simon.

If I’m honest they were bad with me - loads of failed and poor comms with a review they were not keeping me in the loop on timings. I basically said I’m not interested in the end as I wanted to feel some respect for the effort I put in. This is a recurring theme with quite a few hifi companies. Stay away, both better brands and service.

Simon, thank you, very informative. Slightly off topic, so please forgive me, but is the RME adi-2 fs dac a worthy upgrade to the Bluesound Node 2i's onboard dac? My 2i is certainly the cheapest component in my system so it's the most logical choice for upgrading and the RME dac is top of my list.
