Yeah I'm sure the v281 is good and I'll probably get one if on par with taurus and LAu as they say but you can't get second order distortion from ss amps that's why there's transistor hash - fatigue faster for me listening to ss amps.
I know what you mean for fatigue. My Oppo HA-1 that this V281 is replacing was bad for that. It improved with a different DAC tho. Not enough for me to actually like it.
Look at some of the reviews of the V281. They talk about no fatigue. I certainly haven't heard anything suggesting it yet.
A friend I trust said the V281 needs a few hundred hours to settle (like a NOS tube). I haven't heard the need for that. However his ears are a lot more sensitive to it than mine. He also moved from a custom 300B tube amp to the V281.
Sylvania tubes fatigue me the fastest. So harsh.
