The look and feel of the A2 is similar to the latest line from SMSL: It looks nicer though in this "widescreen" presentation. The rotary encoder feels a bit looks physically but is very responsive. As noted, there is an integrated DAC in the A2: I like the diagonal binding posts which gave me more room than I typically find in these smaller desktop amplifiers. As set of...

This cable delivers a lot of detail without the...
