Denon PMA-50 - anybody ?

Hi folks.

Anybody tried the rather new full digital amp from Denon, the PMA-50?

It comes with all bells and whistles incl. BT aptX.

It uses the same DDFA technology as you find e.g. in the NAD M51 DAC.

The device even supports DSD.

All at $500.


It lacks network support though. But this you can manage through apt-X, or
a Raspberry Pi as streamer via USB.

Could be an interesting device to integrate stereo and video/TV (e.g via toslink) and streaming (Qobus/Tidal through Android/iOS) into a quality living room system at a reasonable pricetag. Beside that it's small and IMO looks quite nice.

Maybe it's worth a try.

Cheers
