Full agreement with Vauxhall, and said so above. But I must clarify that I'm biased: I hate the Adcom sound. I find it cold, hard, brittle. May be perfect for some kinds of Rock, but for Classical? Might as well give a Stradivarius to Genghis Khan. He'll use it for kindling.
The only Adcom I own is a DAC. I didn't want it because it's Adcom — I didn't know it was Burr-Brown chips inside, Class A output stage by N Pass — but it was like new, not a scratch, it was not one of their amplifiers, and it was only $7. One of my best finds ever. Transformed digital forever in my life; I now play it more than analog... also because it's so much easier.
