Many stereo shops offer them. You may hear it at the store and decide right away that it's not the sound you like.
Given that you owned an Aleph 3 and was about to buy another one, I'd say you will be happier with the Aleph. The digital amps are very clean sounding in general (other than the low level digital noise). The sound compares with many high-power solid-state amps, including the Pass X-series. If you heard those, you know what's missing vs. what the Aleph. Not that one is more accurate, just a different character to the sound.
But do give the Panny a try. Two music nuts friends tried it and had a very favorable first impression, but ended up moving on to different amps. Both came with single-ended tube amps in their "background" and the Panny eventually became a bit "boring" for them.
No good or bad. Just a personal preference.
