A little late to the party here I guess, but I have been running a s300i for a couple years now and really enjoy it paired with my ProAc D40r's. I think it performs well above it's price point. Eventually I may replace it with a separate preamp/power amp combo, but I don't feel a need to do that in the immediate future. And when I do it the preamp will have to have a DAC built in to make switching digital sources easier than my current setup.
I did have one issue where the volume dial on the unit itself stopped working (remote volume control still worked OK), but it was fixed fairly quickly under warranty when I sent it in and has been otherwise fantastic.
