Thanks to Leo Ayzenshtat of Orchard Audio for loaning me this amp for review. Not only is the Starkrimson Ultra (500W) DMC 2.5 the best Class D amp I have ever heard, it is one of the best amps I have ever heard full stop. It is remarkable in its clarity and power. It has no sonic sins. It is 100% faithful to the source. At $3999.00 plus $250.00 for the single ended to balanced option, this is, IMHO, a terrific value considering its performance. If you are looking for separates in this price range (or even 3X or 4X this price) you need to give this unit serious consideration.
