I ”need” a solid state amp for my D7000’s, and since it is soon my birthday… I do believe that the gifts one buy for oneself is the best :)
 
Budgetwise we are talking of upto usd 300,- not included shipping.
 
What I am listening to; everything, but mostly pop/rock.
 
As far as I can tell I have the choice between Matrix M-stage, Schiit Asgard and ??
 
Any specific recommendations are more than welcome :)

Maybe you can also look out for a used Burson HA160.

The Dynalo/Gilmore Lite is a good deal. You might also want to keep an eye on the For Sale Forum. FOTM amps ought to be appearing shortly.

Like the others, Dylano/Gilmore Lite.  
 
I use the GLite at work with the D7000 and it's great.  I like how it tames the bass a tad (just a slight bit, but enough for me to find it more enjoyable).

Got an offer for a Shanling PH100 within my budget, and locally pickup (which is a rather rare occurence here in Oslo, NO)
After the little I have read about it, it seems like decent matchup for Denons, or am I wrong?

Why is it so har d to decide?
Down to Audio GD c2 and Matrix M-Stage or maybe a Kingrex HQ-1?
 
Any last suggestion before I pull the trigger and let my credit card bleed a little more?
