Nothing in this hobby is going to suit everyone's needs. Some responses to your thoughts:
They are not McIntosh, in that they do not hold resale value. These can be had for 35 to 40 cents on the dollar of original price, so do not concur with the 1% remark. It could be argued that this could save budding audiophiles cash by not having to spend big $ on interconnects, changing out one box to get to the next level. The S/W update handles that for you.
Well, anyone who does not have a computer would not be reading this website to begin with. Do not see that as a valid argument.
What if a tube amp smokes an output power tube and takes things with it?

I'm reading this post with my iPad. Would that work?
A iPad IS a computer. :-)
An, if you had the attachment to read SD cards, the iPad could indeed update the unit.

After researching the topic, I see that there are indeed lightning to SD card adapters available for iOS devices.
Thanks for that realization. :)
No worries.
I need to look into a streaming option.
PS: Here is a picture of the 6AH4 Thomas Meyer clone that mates with the 1625 amp.

I stated, "Don't want to use a computer." Must you have your Dealer perform the service? Technologically advanced, but Tubes amps don't have to rely on
an internet connection to perform from day one till their end of time!
Goodness no. The owner can easily update the software revision to the latest version. What is even better is the fact the owner can configure the inputs to meet their needs. It supports pre-out, phono in, and various digital inputs. In addition, if the owner changes out the speakers, they can go to the website and load the specific DSP curve for their speaker.I have a good friend who makes amps/preamps for customers. He eschews modern technology such as mobile phones and a computer. I'm sure if he had one of these he would simply bring it over to have updated/re-configured.
I've owed a lot gear over the years, and this thing just sounds better than the vast majority of gear available. I was skeptical when I first read about these, but, hearing is believing.
