Meier Audio's amplifier products implement crossfeed technology for years and it
was further improved on the DAC product StageDAC. As a years old user, I am a
fan of crossfeed, the effect may not such significant in pop music records but
it is noticeable in classical music. The soundstage becomes more realistic with
crossfeed enabled, so you may feel it is natural and not so easily be fatigue.

Thanks for the info. I was looking at building a Corda Cross-1 filter from
scratch and I've already ordered parts for it. What I didn't know it that
they had amplifiers with it built in. Maybe I'll save up some money and buy
one of those.
