Thanks for your impressions. Glad to hear that you're enjoying the DP1!
How did you level matched the different equipments and how close before making your evaluation?

Welcome Dave!
Pretty nice setup you have there. I'm interested in the S1 myself but wasn't aware it's already available.
How are the S1s performing in your system? Can you compare them to any other amps you heard before?
Just to get an idea on what to expect.
Good to hear you don't find the S1 dry sounding.
I have used to Rotel amps on several occasions and didn't like the sound of the Class D amps they seemed to want to move to for a few years.
Their Class A/B amps sounded better to me at least, but I wasn't much of a fan of those as well. Everytime I went for an audition between them and the Marantz amps I strongly preferred the latter. But getting the kind of power one can get out of a pair of DP-1 would cost quite a bit with a Class A/B amp.
I read soemwehere that the S1 had "Class D done right" and I'm eager to know if that is indeed the case. I might just get me one, I don't need two for my speakers or the speakers I want to get in the future.

No I haven't checked 6Moons since the preview, thanks for the link, reading material for in bed tonight!
I remember the DP1 was his favorite gear of the year or something like that. Let's see what he thinks of the S1 then.
If you haven't already done so, you might want to read the updated 6moons review of the S1s:

Srajan eventually gets to the point
You might want to read the last page first. Srajan's first four pages might put you to sleep before you reach the exciting conclusion.

Everyone too busy enjoying his DP-1 to still post in here I guess?
