Holy Moly!
Now that is Audio Porn!

I wonder what the four front to back blue items are?

I would guess that those are the DC power rails.
When you think that you’ve seen it all one is even more surprised, definitely audio porn. :crazy_face:

“High-current, dual polarity, ultra low impedance copper bus-bars distribute both power supply input current and signal output current, virtually eliminating intra-circuit EMI signal contamination, greatly reducing internal wiring, while increasing circuit board rigidity.”

…yeah that.

The oldest male competition to determine who has it bigger? I always thought it was a typical italian thing…

That is one amazing amp Vince. Are you going to get the matching preamp at some point? Have you listened to that combo?

I haven’t heard the Pre. I am not interested in it. I prefer a Pre with tubes, I like the flexibility tubes bring to my systems . I have been considering a Audio Research 6 SE. But time will tell.

I totally agree with a tubed Pre with solid state amp. I have always liked Audio Research but am very happy with the BHK Pre right now.

My current dacs (Ruby SACD, Edge NQ) that each retail for about half (or less) of DS2 retail, but I’m in the market over next year or so:
