Just bought a XLS 1002 , and paired with my elacs debut b5.2 , and a good DAC and tidal MQA sound files, and I can say without a doubt this amplifier (https://www.kynix.com/components/TPA3116D2DADR-Audio-Amplifier-Datasheet-Schematic-Pinout.html) is not for hifi use, at least not for full range front speakers ( maybe for subs) . I bought it because all of the good reviews I saw everywhere. This amp does not have the quality and SOUND I am expecting for HIFI use . Do not waste your time , like I did , you better buy something designed for hifi use ( Yamaha , Denon etc , there are a lot of good ones with great sound ) ... maybe the one on the video review, the xls 1502, sounds better but the xls 1002 has very poor quality sound , very disappointed, I am returning it tomorrow.
