The PINT is not truly a miniaturization of the PIMETA design. While it does have 3-channel topology and power supply is somewhat similar to the PIMETA, it does not have the Jung multiloop/Buffers or class-A biasing circuits.

Generally speaking, yes, the SMD components are smaller versions of the same. However, SMD components have a few design inherent advantages, such as lower lead inductance that may contribute to some difference between the SMD and through hole versions of the same project.
From what people say about the PINT, it's possible that the miniature of an existing design could sound better than the original. |

Aren't the miniature components just smaller instances of the same? Or does this imply that more than just the package size changes? |
