    I own the Gato for 3 years now...I wouldn't change it for another Amp. Love it

    I have listened to the aavik at home, and it was a big improvement over the Devialet expert pro i owned at the time. I now own the Gryphon Diablo 120

    When you are turning the stones for Class D amps, then I would recommend to consider the Class D amps of the T+A 200 series you have the DAC 200 of.
    The monoblocks T+A M200 could be the peak of Class D amplifying at present. You are able to select between two damping factors (70 or 800) via button, thus you have the choice between two sound signatures in addition. I find these monoblocks very interesting. Would really like to watch your review of them 🙃

    How is it compared to a similar integrated AB amp like the Hegel h390?

    Does the Gato double down to 1600 watts @ 2 ohms? Is it capable of handling a 2 ohm load?

    The future is class D.
    I own a Purifi based amp, and it is unbelievably smooth, powerful, punchy, sweet, and all that at any volume.

    What about the Heaven Eleven Billie as "budget" Class D? Comparable?

    • @HiFiHuff
      @HiFiHuff  Год назад +4

      The heaven 11 is fantastic for the money. It’s more punchy, less transparent, and more about mid bass and impact. It has some noise at idle (from speakers) as mentioned in the review. The Gato has more power, a better internal DAC, and sounds cleaner as it doesn’t have any of the tube warmth (like the Billie). It has more of a smooth refined sound (gato). Remote is nicer with the Gato if that matters. The gato has more power on tap as well.

      Isn't the Billie amp more of a hybrid ? It has tubes in its preamp.

    Based on the review, seems like a "great" amp. "IMO", one thing is for sure (95%+++), if a person can't find an amplifier these days to suit personal taste & budget, it doesn't exist.

      @@RigVader Well to be fair, it's not an heirloom piece. It's a labor intensive case though, manufactured by expensive Danish workers first.
      Second, it's a digital "all-in-one" that lacks all HDMI connection, so it's already out-dated & there's no way to fix that. It's disposable. That's always the problem with all-in-ones. 🔈🔉🔊
