5.6W combined aka 2.8W per channel. Depending on the input signal level I wouldn't rule out the pre gain having an effect on sound. From what I can tell 0dB pre gain will already yield full power at 1.5V (+6dBu) input signal.

As mentioned I haven’t heard anything but that’s only from my own personal experience5.6W combined aka 2.8W per channel. Depending on the input signal level I wouldn't rule out the pre gain having an effect on sound. From what I can tell 0dB pre gain will already yield full power at 1.5V (+6dBu) input signal.
So Niimbus is dual mono AMP like Bryston BHA-1? 6,3mm output must be weak...
At least all my HP are balanced.

4-PIN XLR out is also the only way to get all 4 amps inside moving.

From what I understand, for 50 Ohms load and below, the unbalanced output power should be the same as the balanced output power. Because the limiting factor would be the current output. At least that was the case with the V281.

I'm extremely interested in this comparison! I love the GSX mini - but in this hobby - what's around the corner you know?
Quite huge and heavy, almost didn't fit...
This Niimbus is really somethig else compared to my GS-X mini, is lighting fast (almost too fast), great soundstage, outstanding bass, clarity, sweet mids, only if he will be cheaper...
But i wouldn't paring Niimbus with bright DACs, highs can be harsh sometimes, my GS-X mini have more pleasant highs.
Still i am sure this is best AMP i have heard.
