@Merrick Nope! Two channel systems have been something that's eluded me for awhile, I've tried to build them before and ultimately never used them.

I've considered replacing my stock SMPS for my Pi2AES but don't know which one to use. Allo seems to have gone under so the Shanti isn't an option. Do people still like Sboosters?

I used to like the way Sbooster made my system sound but over time realized that it's acually quite noisy. Switched over to Muzg and I'm quite pleased with the result

The only class AB small amp I can think of was the burson bang and that thing was $500-$600 depending on the opamps. All of the more affordable stuff was chip-based topping/smsl

emotive basx a2m also exists, Pretty cool unit, although it's known to have a lean, class-d parallel sound, and it's not tiny. In terms in true desktop-sized units for this pricepoint, schiit's definitely in a class of their own. Super happy that finally a competitor exists. I'm tired of telling people their only option is a crappy class d from an even crappier company.

Emotive would've worked better if the internals were rotated 90 degrees. In it's current shape it's way too long to fit on a desk
