Steve likes digital playback so not a big deal that he likes this class D amp. Now if Fremer agreed, I'd take notice. 

Digital playback (source) is very different from Class D (amplification).

 

This is the highest performing and most analogue sounding Class D based amplifier that I know after having access to most brands and amplifiers on the market during recent years within this segment.

The price is well in line with the higher end Integrated amps on this level from the competition (Accuphase, Boulder, Ypsilon etc.). The difference might be that it's Class D - designed, developed and manufacturered by one of the leading authorities in the business (Bruno Putzeys).

 

I believe that you get what you pay for in terms of engineering, design and performance from this amp. Add the DAC and streaming module, and you've got a complete, world class system for digital sources.

 

This amp shows a path towards the future of high end audio imho. High performing, efficient, compact and elegant.

The alternative to the Kula integrated with the DAC and Streamer module would be the stand alone Tambaqui DAC/Streamer + Makua preamp + Kaluga mono amps or the Tambaqui directly to the Kaluga mono's. Both options will all together give you a higher level of performance and a much higher power output. But, it comes at a price, making the Kula integrated with modules very attractive for slightly less demanding speakers and systems.
