I mean in general any amp that uses an opamp or transformer to create an inverted output is not truly balanced.which one ?? O&B?? Not sure Soum.. I did ask Aniket long back and did not get a straight response.. so IDK.. May be he can comment if he is reading the thread.
Saw this on instagram
Anyone has this amplifier?
Please share your experience, opinion and impressions if you do

Amit also mentioned that many new amplifiers in balanced topology are in the pipeline and slated for release soon.
This is a very serious issue, I happened to take my PA to a HIFI member's residence and paired it with his emotiva preamp. It was terrible to say the least. Pairing equipment is a serious business. While his Emotiva PA and PreAmp was in a different league.My main concern is that while we have many exceptional power amps available in the market, there are limited matching preamp options. Finding a compatible preamp can be an expensive endeavor.
Thanks for sharingI auditioned this amp in a test cabinet about a month ago. At that time, it hadn't been officially launched, so they didn't have the production version available for demo, but the internals were identical to the final product. They specifically requested not to post or share anything until the official launch.
I'm not very technical, so I didn't understand a lot of the explanations, but what I gathered is that each channel isn't a single amplifier; instead, there are two separate amplifiers per channel. In terms of sound quality, it was fantastic. On many of my tracks, I heard some instruments for the very first time, which I believe means that the amplifier is very detailed and resolving. I've visited some of very high end stores in the past, but nothing stood out on my test tracks like this amp did. The pricing wasn't finalized at the time, but on the launch day when asked, I was told it would be 2L per monoblock. Amit also mentioned that many new amplifiers in balanced topology are in the pipeline and slated for release soon.
If fed true XLR input, then this design as categorized (balanced discrete differential input) looks like uses an Operational Amplifier to substract the positive and negative voltages to reject common-mode noise. The output side in all probability is single ended.I mean in general any amp that uses an opamp or transformer to create an inverted output is not truly balanced.
For balanced you need two signal paths and all components need to be doubled as both the + and - signals need to be treated individually in the same manner.
Indiq makes their own drivers...Well noted. You do have a fair point there
I dont know what drivers they are using. But if they are using good quality drivers from Scanspeak or Seas or SB acoustics, then those prices, considering they've used equivalent quality crossover parts would look reasonable. One would be surprised what crap quality drivers we get in imported speakers, with fairy dust of marketing and innovation sprinkled on top to make the lofty price palatable.
For example, I've seen speakers using 22,000 INR SB Acoustics satori mid range driver + 40,000 INR Satori beryllium tweeters, cost 18,00,000 INR for the fully built speaker even before import. So one has to see in this reference, to understand that the margins are still fairly low, provided IndiQ is using good quality drivers.
But of course, Iam in no way defending their prices without knowing the parts they use. Above is just a general explanation of the usual pricing in the audiofool market.
They make their own woofers, tweeters in the Diamond Achal were imported. SEAS I thinkIndiq makes their own drivers...
