H/K has a digital amplified receiver. Linn is big into Class D amps too. From what I understand, it’s really hard to get digital amplifiers to sound right. H/K has a digital amplified receiver.

I just about fell over - a revolution has occurred in hi-fi audio and I completely missed it! Analog amplification is now the old way, which means a pre/pro such as Anthem's (or Lexicon's), with only analog audio outputs, is already out of date. Digital amplification sounds to be better and cheaper than just about any analog amplifier. Is it time to sell off the analog gear, switch to digital, and pocket the difference? How long will it be possible to do that before absolutely no one will buy used analog equipment? And has anyone listened to one of these digital amplifiers, and are they really that good?
