Just curious...these amps seem to be the most discussed in these days...but anyone compared them yet...what's your preference? I mean especially on sound quality and power. I know the XP7 is a portable one, can be powered with batteries, and most of all you don't have to deal with battery packs to have some decent lifetimes...and last but not least performance with batteries is identical compared to a PS...while PPA isn't intended as truly portable (yet?) as you'll always have to rely on an external PS. Speaking of dimensions, I read tangent's post about the integrated battery holder. Seems very promising and if someone will use it (Sostenuto 2?), we'll have a real killer...still, having all these batteries to get to required voltage will make the amp rather heavier and larger than XP7...but at least you will have only one device to deal with on the way.
