Hi, I'm an audio cold turkey returning for an upgrade.
As I didn't follow the stuff for 2 years at least I had no idea of the current trend. (And that D 3020 was already out for more than a year.)
If this was March 2014 and I saw what stereophile wrote for D 3020 I would have bought it without a second thought, especially combined with the knowledge that it uses Hypex UcD. But this is one year later which is ample time for competitors to come out with their answers. Plus, like all audio products, non-positive comments from other supposed users. I'm still partial to stereophile's reviews though but always good for alternative views.
So here I am debating whether to get the D 3020 or something else, like Denon PMA-50, or something similar from TEAC, or bigger-sized stuff like C326BEE or Yamaha S501 (or even 500?) or one of the stuff I have left out.
(Not looking at Monitor Audio A100 because too ugly)
