No I didn't know it had one...I haven't really used the meters or the amps to be honest but I was impressed with the DA-P20 when I hooked it up to the Hafler it is a great sounding pre-amp. I have been using a Jolida JD9 Phono preamp that has a tube stage with a Chinese Music Angel tube preamp with my Crowns and I really enjoy that sound. I may end up selling some of the Diatone gear but I will most definitely keep the DA-P20.
On my other meter unit I installed some blue led lamps. The one above in the picture has only one lamp working.
The older I get the harder these amps are to lug around. I really enjoy the Crown class D amps because they are sort of rolled off and sound a bit tubey and warm...and they only weigh 11 pounds. The Crown XLS DriveCore2 amps are for professional use but they sound pretty decent to me and are only $400 for a brand new 1002 model that does 250 watts per channel.
To top it off I have been on the Decware waiting list for a their Zen 2-watt SET amp which should arrive sometime early in 2023. So I will have all bases cover Class A, Class D, Mosfet and SET lol.
