Over the last couple of years I have owned a Classe Sigma 2200i, a Lyngdorf TDAI-2170, and a Mark Levinson No. 585.
I now use an Esoteric I-03 Integrated in the home office and a Pass Labs INT-30A in the main system. The I-03 is rarely discussed in forums, and virtually unknown to most audiophiles. It was introduced in 2011 by Esoteric’s Master Sound Works Lab, which at the time also introduced the highly rated C-02 pre amp ($26.5K). The I-03 was Esoteric’s first Class D amp and it is a delightful unit. Not sure they sold many at the introductory price of $12,000.00, but I bought it cheap from a dealer that was used as their demo. A very nice sounding, wonderfully designed, sixty nine pound beast. The INT-30A has taken up residence in the main system, and I do have to say it sounds delightful too.
