no issues with performance, drives speakers really well with very stable connection.
Bought this with the sub/satellite package. Couldn't be happier with the ease of use, the app, set-up, and the sound. Almost feel like I should buy another and go for the floor standing speakers package deal. My wallet is twitching....
Highly recommended.
The Audio Factory was quick to ship. No issues regarding a "refurb". Everything is like new.
Would do business again.
Great amp, lots of connection options!
Have 6 of these running big in-ceiling speakers from a tech closet… so much better than the product BestBuy pushes… HiRes music is so much better - we did a head to head comparison.
If you buy from the factory/refurb here you can hit the same price point as the mainstream lo-res provider’s amps…
If it all goes in a closet, what good is “new” when you need 10 of them?
Clear clean power combined with an awesome streamer and DAC. The built in amp is a winner and easily powers my PSB towers. A big boost from my prior receiver which I had been very happy with until I swapped for my Powernode. Another outstanding piece of hi fi gear from the Bluesound, NAD, partnership. Highly recommend.
