Similarly, describing many of these as digital amps is questionable.
... I still haven't revisited the Panny for further comparisons.
Having a toddler, working for a living etc., get in the way...

I have to correct myself here in my mp3 vs flac tangent-upon-a-tangent
on this thread.
What I actually used was lame
and see if it's so clear (ditto on my portable player)...
Try out the bi-amping option on the Panny...

for PCM, not PWM.
If my simplistic understanding were right, the amp would theoretically
only be able to output 3 bit resolution at 44.1kHz output, and so would
surely sound rubbish. It doesn't, so there's a lot going on that I
don't understand. That's not news :).

binary signal with a
different voltage is amplification, then yes, it is an amplifier and a
CPU is full of amplifiers. Perhaps a calculator is also then an
amplifier, when you use the multiplication key...

they're an ADC connected to a DAC.

However, I was talking about digital input, as I said. Whether you
consider it as an abstract whole, of you look at its internals, it's
result is an amplified version of the input signal,
it's reasonable to call it an amplifier. Hence:

, but
the Panasonic is better, drives multiple speakers, and is still pretty
inexpensive (less than 2 TA-10.1s anyway).

with that is, with a 7.1 receiver in my living room,
I might start thinking I need more than 2 speakers... Argh! :)

the
big bucks ($130) for that. The only problem is I couldn't fit my
speaker cables into the SI-T-amp.
Shame if it's not up to the Epos - I was contemplating buying some used
M12s. Perhaps I could buy another TA-10.1 and bi-amp them. That might
help :).

of the kitchen cabinets along with the Squeezebox and
speakers, so it's doomed for a less-than audiophile life :). However,
if it's cheap -and- good quality, then I can't lose.
