Reply to comment by [deleted] in I never thought amps made much of a difference...until I got a Liquid Spark by givemeyournews

I would agree, but did volume match with in a pretty close margin. It's not louder (or really any better as I do prefer the 789 and ADI-2 more), it just has more bass and warmth. I may have to get a proper A/B switch and have the wife help me with a blind test.

I agree with you the Spark does have a bit of warmth to it so might seem to bring out the bass a bit more maybe not for sure. I have a couple of other amps comparable in power and price ( JDS Labs Atom and Schiit Magni 3 ) and while I think they both sound pretty similar the Spark definitely sounds warmer. I’ve always liked the Spark as I was on the pre sale list for the original which was to be a portable amp .
