My Gryphon amp is Very transparent sounding, and show more details in the music, but the detail don't shout at you like it did in the devialet. Vocals has got a much more live feel, with closed eyes I can really be fooled to believe the singer is in the living room with me, It's almost like a thin veil has been removed between me and the music. The gryphon is not dark sounding at all. But the gryphon is a much much more satisfying amplifier.
What describe is pretty much exactly what I heard with my D250 prior to switching to a Shunyata Sigma power cable.
