I bought a Strata MK2 last January and every time I use it to play music, I’m really happy with this integrated Amplifier. I sounds so much better than the receiver it replaces.

I was amazed to hear a difference for the better with i2s, considering that I don’t have powerful ears. The only thing that puzzles me is…
