Boy... Lucked out on this one. Class D or "Chip Amps" as they are referred to often have a few-to-36 hours of playback time before they sound there best. I let the amp play in the warehouse over a 24 hour period. Upon connecting Bluetooth, I noticed a pleasant and familiar sound signature, but wasn't blown away; "I had heard better chip amps" I told myself... The familiar sound struck me; there was something in my head that said "you need to give this thing a proper signal" and so a hooked up my iStreamer DAC (an iPhone/iPad specific DAC, you can google it) and sat down to listen. iPhone6>iStreamer>Audioquest RCAs>Aune X2Mk2 Bluetooth Amplifier>Paradigm Atom V5...
WOW, even in a 4000sq/ft warehouse space, imaging was strong, and base was (apropreatly) prodigious. I have yet to take this setup it a typical home listening environment, but now I know why I like the sound of this amp so much: it uses the (now owned by Texas Instruments) TPA, formally known as Tripath, chip-arcetecture. Tripath chips sound so "fun" and "exciting". They are detailed and clear without being fatiguing to the ear. Even compared to a Nuforce Icon V1 (another great desktop amp, don't like the V2), this holds its own.
Takeaway: Bluetooth will deliver quality sound if your not a mega audiophile like me. A reasonable quality DAC and your favorite set of speakers and your playing with fire, this will play PLENTY loud with great sound quality for nearly any use. Enjoy!
