Hello chaps
I am considering selling my Absolare Integrated purchased in 2016, and more recently updated to v2 status last year. It’s the most amazing amplifier which has given me hundreds of hours of pleasure.
If anyone is interested please PM me for more details.
Cheers,
Guillaume

Funny how that's always the first question on everyone's mind.
@ GuillaumeB. A nice Devialet Expert 1000 Pro with CI board and RAAT perhaps?

I don’t know yet, it will be a very tough act to follow.
Cheers,

Have you seen the price of those things?! LOL.
I already have a 220 Pro here. It has no trouble whatsoever driving my Sashas to decent volumes. In many ways I prefer the simplicity of a single box.

Whatever Guillaume gets next, it'll be hard to beat this Absolare. It sounds absolutely wonderful and is probably the best amp I've ever heard.

Absolare sound better than D1000 Pro?

I walked into that one didn't I?! The Absolare is more expensive new...

Maybe Vincent Brient is bringing out a combination of his DAC design with a power amplifier? If he can make an amp that performs in the same league as his DACs it would be truly impressive!
