I was wondering if anyone who own this amp can provide a brief update on their impressions? Are you still liking it?

I hope Audio-gd will bring the SA31SE back...
It is such a unique and great amp and I absolutely love it with all my headphones.
Going by C-2's SQ impressions, the SA31SE has a similar sound in many ways [transparent yet musical, black background, clean power] but with a hint of warmness on top, making it a good match with even more headphones [even the HD800 from reports]. I love it with my HE-560 and it has power aplenty for it.
It was no doubt a solid offering... I wish people could compare these two.
Thanks for the post and the pictures. It is too bad one cannot buy this anymore. Have you heard the C-2 as well?
I unfortunately haven't heard the C-2, but given the opportunity, I'd love to.
The SA31SE can still be bought from some distributors who have it in stock [Audiophonics, etc.] and I saw a few in the for sale forums.
Still, I don't understand why it was discontinued in the first place. I believe all who bought it quite like it [save for the random guy that doesn't ]
I've been looking at the nfb-29 and the C2 lately. Would use my nfb15 as the DAC to the C2, but the built in sabre DAC in the nfb-29 is very attractive. I loved the sound from oppo HA-1 straight out of the single ended output, hence my interest in these audio gd products. Has anybody heard both and can compare/share impressions? Especially with he500
