All I can say is wow. Nicely packaged and my initial impressions are that it sounds far superior to the Denon DL160 it replaces, and it only has ten minutes on it! I cannot wait to hear more from it.:cool::D

    SWEET. Is it a high voltage one like the denon?

    It's a 2.5mv and I do not remember what the DL160 was. I can say that there are a few aspects of the Evo that are delicate to say the least, so it is perhaps not a wise choice for those with little ones around, but damn it sounds smooth and detailed. Bass is deep and accurate, mids are clear and detailed and the upper end is crisp without being to bright. I love it.
