Like most Denon's this one sounds crystalline and has astoundingly dry bass. I had to listen a few times to some songs to fully take in how controlled and sinewy some of the bass lines sounded. For a short time I thought I had really good sound until I recognized a glaring weakness - the mids are awfully cold / distant and the overall sound too icy.
If you have a "fat sounding" source and sloppy speakers then this amp might really help, otherwise give it a try before you buy or your ears may suffer.
3/5
