Totaldac Amp-1 poweramp debuted at Munich Hi-end 2019

I would like to open a thread on the new Totaldac Amp-1 poweramp on the WBF Amp/Preamp Forum.

Here is its specifications and pricings :

The Amp-1 was debuted at the Munich Hi-end 2019 held earlier this month :

Despite Amp-1 is the first poweramp of Totaldac, it has received many praises, from both Munich show visitors & reviews/media.
There were 3 sets of Magico M6 loudspeaker at the Munich 2019, paired up with diff amps. Many of the show visitors opined that the M6 driven by Amp-1 gave the best/most musical/most enjoyable performance.

Here is one of the praising professional reviews :

I very much hope that the HK Totaldac dealer will get an Amp-1 for demo very soon.
I have full confidence in its performance.
Also, the pricing of Amp-1 is reasonable, considering that its performance is on par with flagship poweramps of other brands which can be 2 or 3 times more expensive!

Hi all,
The Totaldac Amp-1 amplifier is now available in fully balanced monobloc version, with a XLR input and a 1000W output on 4ohm load.
Each monobloc can also be used as a stereo amplifier with RCA inputs.

The top plate/ventilation holes are beautiful!

Dear Vincent,
This monoblock version got a balance input.
Is it a bridged stereo version?
Any other additional improvements?

Thank you!
This monobloc version is balanced from the XLR input up to the binding posts, so yes it is like a bridged amplifier except there is no associated inverter in the amplifier. The 2500VA continuous power supply is more than big enough to handle that.

The rest is similar to the Amp-1, the tubes being swappable.
