Looking to start a discussion on integrated Amplifiers. I would love to hear both arguments. Is modern technology (outside of dacs) superior? Or is a 20 year old similarly spec’d amplifier just as good? Is a 20 year old high end amp just as capable of a high end amp today?
the most basic answer is they are the same, except the newer dac technology as you have stated. That is not 100% true but i think it answers the question.
you probably have to consider each case by case, if you are getting a good price, is the condition good, etc.
