It's obviously not just about the technology. I have no issues about the potential quality of "digital" amps (although I can't seem to find specific details about how it is implemented in the Pany). However, I assume not everyone will prefer the sound of these digital amps, no matter how much the technology advances. Just like some people still prefer tubes to solid state now, some prefer Class A/AB to Class D (e.g. Hypex) or T (using Tripath), some probably prefer the sound of the Pany. It's highly unlikely that ALL audiophiles will ever agree on the best of ANYTHING.
