That's not to say its a piece of shit, its much better than the other budget DSP's out there, I have heard a few people with noise floor issues but I think that is mostly due to poor install or poor tunes. The AC unit will probably be all most need, but lets not kid ourselves here, its not a 8x12 or Helix/Match/Brax (name your audiotech Fischer brand here.)
