    Saw this on sale. Whose amp is this? I haven't seen this one come up for sale in 10+ years. Ah the good old time when Justin was still a DIY kit seller :)

    I wonder if the original owner has ever used this. I don't believe DACT can stay this clean after almost 20 years, if used regularly. This amp never paired all that well with digital sources 20 years ago, but I believe Yggdrasil A2 or any other source with healthy amounts of 2nd and 3rd order harmonics and bass weight would pair well with this amp.
