Listening to Keith Jarrett’s Live at The Blue Note (Tidal) was outstanding. The longer I listened to “Don’t Ever Leave Me,” the more involved I became. Keith Jarrett’s piano was portrayed superbly, and the music had emotion and moved me in a special way. Jack DeJonette’s cymbals had life, weight, and gracefulness. They were detailed, transparent, and open, also free of edge and grain. The cymbal magic was effortless and vivid. Gary Peacock on the double bass was harmonically and texturally convincing. The sound of the plucks had a properly stringy, pitch, and weight. The DA88 Signature’s transient balance was truthful and consistent from the lowest to highest notes.

I enjoyed my time with the Jadis DA88 Signature immensely. The Jadis DA88 Signature worked flawlessly during the entire listening period, and it is a super quiet amplifier. There is no hum or any tube noise to speak of. I put my ears up-close to my super tweeter and it was dead silent. When an integrated amplifier sounds good at this price, I ask myself “Do I really need the separates?”
