[QUOTE="Nidri, post: 810861, member: 1342"] Interesting comparison. Yes, the Matrix has a more standard 2V/4V output. Digital volume control (Matrix) vs. analogue (NuPrime). Headphone output on Matrix, none on the NuPrime. ESS 9016 DAC (Matrix) vs. AKM 4490 (NuPrime). RE Headphone Amps - I have an older Matrix unit (the very first version), and it is definitely a more (physically) solid device than the NuPrime. I.e. you can stack a headamp (or T-amp) on top of it if necessary. I wouldn't stack anything on top of the NuPrime. Matrix gets some flack for their Bel Canto 'inspired' looks, but they make some solid equipment. I believe they also manufacture components for a lot of other brands (behind the scenes). Good luck with your search. [/QUOTE]
