I just bought another one, a SMSL SA-98E. It uses the TDA7498E chip, and it looks like it can do maybe 50 wpc or so into 8 ohms. I can't wait to compare it to the TA2020 based amps. Price was just under $100 shipped with a 32V power supply. You really have to look carefully because there is a SA-98 that uses a different TD7498 chip that produces less power. The E model and chip is not the same as the SA-98 and seems to be more powerful.
The gold looks kind of lame in the pictures, but I have a gold SMSL SA-36A and it looks great in person, much more of a champagne than gold.
