The newer chips do measure better and have a few more EQ functions (that we'd not use anyway). We'll probably roll the new parts in somewhere along the line, but the difference between nearly-perfect and perfecter isn't much.
I don't know of many reviews yet ... did see one somewhere though. It's basically like all our stuff: really good reproduction is just a straight pipe, and it usually takes a little while to grow on people.
Like people kinda poo-pooed the looks of our amps until they got to live with them for a while and then they really like it cuz it's friendly and comfortable. Shouting gets attention, but it's bothersome after a while.

Got one of these.. brought it for the pibeing abilities and its looks so little of it self that if I hadn't told before hand that it was to be used for techincal research my significant would have killed me spending so much on something that looked even less expensive than my graphics chips and such. Ironicly it came in a bigger box than any other chip based product I have ever owned and with way less boaty marketing than any of the big graphicscard gigants booxies. Thought mine came with DPS, BUDA and cables so it was more the shipping box than the actual box that was impressive...
