AV-525 Tube/Solid State Hybrid Integrated Amp. Does it have the warm tubey sound? Let’s find out.

The Nobsound AV-525 is a hybrid tube solid state amp with a built in DAC and Bluetooth connectivity. Does it have that "tubey" sound? Not really. That doesn't mean it sounds bad. It is just fine given it's market segment. I think with some tube rolling this could be much more interesting.
