I find the overall sound quality of the Arcam Alpha 7SE extremely listenable. I'm using it with a Cambridge Audio Silver Spirit 60 cable (£100) and find the unit simple to use and enjoys playing most types of music.

compared to the NAD 540 the Arcam is more detailed in the bass, and there is much more air in the treble. The Arcam sounds dynamic, lively and natural, and it can be upgraded to Alpha 9 spec so i think it's the best value at the price.
