    thanks for the review, this is why I turned from a digital Amp Solution to a Rotel A11 mkii. The Rotel has analog Knobs and Buttons. There is a good DAC on top built in, but in generell all feels good old analog and it sound fantastic.

    thanks for this comparison, wanted to know how the roksan compared to the m5si and your comparison to the 3 made my search easy

    Might try pressing the volume control in, and turning it for inputs.

    i have the attessa steaming amp , i have a 5.1 system in my living room
    with a yamaha rxa 1080 , was finding that for 2 channel music the yamaha
    did not excite me , i had some kef ls50 meta for my fronts so i bought
    the attessa streamer and hooked it to the pre outs on the yamaha and
    wow , what a difference , l love it , after a while i thought about trying
    different speakers and i bought monitor audio gold 100 5g in beautiful
    piano ebony and the difference again , they are superb , and as the same company
    they where made for each other , they have more base than the kefs ,
    i am using a svs 3000 micro hooked up to them ,
    used to have a bluesound node but sold it as built into the roksan ,
    but it sound much better with the roksan as its a better dac ...
    never thought much about the volume as you are right you have
    to crank it up to get real volume ( just thought i was old and a little deaf )
    the menu is not the easiest , spent half the day when first got it over a year
    ago getting it on av bypass , its as heavy as my yamaha home receiver ,
    its had some great reviews , i love it , its not perfect , remote a little cheap ,
    volume nob feels weird pushing it while trying to turn , im in the uk
    and get 5 year warranty on the roksan and 5 years on the monitor audio
    speakers so you can tell they are built to last .........................
    the 100 golds are reduced as they are being phased out as new model coming
    so a good buy at present , i paid £950 ( 1180 dollar ) thing they were about
    £1650 before reduction .........
    was going to spend more and buy Bowers & Wilkins 705 S2 , glad i did not now ...............

      I have the same speakers, but use a Astin/trew AT2-2100 Integrated Amplifier, I sold the MF m5si in favour of the former . I had a demo of the Attessa and I really like the sound overall, I may be tempted to go with the power amp..

    Hey! Great and honest review! Putting aside the caveats you just mentioned... Did you like the overall sound quality? I'm considering this amp and could let pass the caveats if the sound is up to Par. Thanks

    I have the Roksan attessa and i get a sound stage way outside my speakers

    wow, that's a lot of work to convert analog to digital then filter it out to analog output? Hopefully you can find some solutions to this to change sound signature you are looking for

    PS Audio Sprout does volume reset too. And yes, annoying. 😊 An app for an amp is just going too far. What happens when the company goes out of business? 😢

    Frustrating , give over , I have had the streamer for over 2 years with the cdt , it's a doddle to use , sounds fantastic with my neat ministra speakers

    Sorry to hear that the amp didn't fit your bill.
    Hopefully you can return it or exchange it.
    Not in a market myself, but yep the "auto reset" volume would be a big turn down for me.
    Also, this is not crazy expensive but it's definitely not a cheap amp, so that cheap remote is also a no-no
    It feels like an afterthought where they had to scramble to find an OEM to be able to put a remote in the box. Not necessarily a big deal on some devices where the remote is just an extra but in this case you basically NEED it to use the amp properly so a little sad that they didn't seem to put as much care in the remote as they did in the product.
    Cheers from France.

    Confused why you started by saying the Roksans downside was that it makes everything you put into its analog inputs the same, but then in the latter half you say the Roksan sounds better than the M3si if you only use it as a power amp - but there's no direct power amp option, so its the same analog inputs as before. This is a contradiction.

      @@mat.b. because you bypass the preamp section. This is how to figure out the sound of the amplifier vs preamp.

      @@ThriftShopReviews theres no way to do that on the roksan though, anything plugged into its analogue inputs goes through the same pre section
