Hi all, this is my first post here. i've been lurking around for a while, though - great forum!
I'm considering to buy an all digital amplifier or "power dac". My two top contenders are Nuforce DDA-100 and NAD D 7050. I'm going to a store to listen to the NAD next week, but unfortunately can't find any place where I can listen to the Nuforce where I live. There is quite a lot of information and opinions on these amplifiers online, but I haven't found any thread that compares them directly. So I'm wondering whether any of you have had the chance to compare and listen to them?
My impressions from what I've read concerning the differences:
- price: the NAD is twice as expensive
- functionality: the NAD has airplay enabled, subwoofer line out and crossover, and EQ for the speakers if one pairs it with Imagine speakers from their sister company PSB
- sound and consumer satisfaction: however, my impression from various threads is that owners of the Nuforce are on the whole more ecstatic about their amplifier. That is the word I would use. After the break-in period, most people seem to adore this little box, and claim that the sound quality is amazing (even though it's slighly light on the bass). It seems like people who own the NAD are also very happy with it, but they are not raving about it to the same degree. This might partly be because the Nufoce owners paid less, and thus feel that they made a better a deal. I don't know.
Any opinions or experiences? I'll be glad to hear any opinions you have
