RE: N core

FWIW, though, the AHB2 isn't a digital or a Class D amp.

It's a low-bias Class A/B NFB amp that uses feedforward to eliminate crossover distortion and lower harmonic distortion to unprecedented low levels. It also uses a regulated switching power supply and switches rails.

Which is to say, it does just about everything that high-end amplifier designers have been moving away from! Except for the feedforward, which kind of bypasses most of the issues.

I'll say this -- it's the cleanest, most neutral amplifier I've ever listened to. It doesn't seem to do as good a job with transients, e.g., piano notes as my humble A-21, though.
