Amplyst
Hi-Fi Intelligence
Signal chain intelligence

Know your chain.
Upgrade with precision.

Register your stereo setup. Amplyst maps every component in your signal chain — compatibility, impedance, sound signature — and tells you exactly what's holding your system back.

Analysing…
How it works
Three steps to clarity.
01
Register your setup

Enter each component in your signal chain — source, phono stage, DAC, amplifier, speakers, cables. Amplyst builds a technical profile of your exact system.

02
Receive your analysis

Amplyst cross-references specifications across your chain: impedance ratios, sensitivity matching, gain structure, and tonal balance alignment — all mapped together.

03
Upgrade with confidence

Get a scored upgrade priority list. Know which component is the actual weak link before you spend. No forum speculation, no affiliate noise.

Analysis layers
What Amplyst actually examines.
Impedance matching

Output vs. input impedance across every stage in your chain. We flag mismatches that cause frequency response anomalies, high-frequency rolloff, or tonal imbalance — even subtle ones.

Gain structure

From cartridge output to speaker sensitivity, we model the gain at each stage and identify where noise floor, clipping risk, or dynamic compression may be introduced.

Sound signature alignment

Each component has a character — warm, neutral, analytical, forgiving. Amplyst models how these signatures compound across your chain and advises on overall tonal balance.

Upgrade priority scoring

Rather than telling you "get a better DAC", we score the marginal improvement of every possible upgrade against your current chain and budget — so you know exactly where to focus.

Upgrade intelligence
What to buy next —
and what to skip.

Most upgrade advice on the internet is written by people with something to sell. Amplyst generates upgrade suggestions from one source only: the actual gaps in your signal chain.

  • 01 Chain-aware recommendations. Every suggestion is calculated against your specific setup — not a generic "best DAC under €500" list.
  • 02 Ranked by impact, not price. A €300 phono stage swap can outperform a €2.000 amplifier upgrade if your chain calls for it. Amplyst scores marginal improvement honestly.
  • 03 No affiliate relationships. Ever. Recommendations are generated purely from technical compatibility and your stated sound signature preferences.
  • 04 Upgrade simulation. Before you commit, Amplyst models how a proposed component change would affect your overall chain score and sound character.

Serious hi-fi equipment holds — and often gains — value. Amplyst tracks the second-hand market for every component in your registered setup, so you always know what your system is actually worth.

Weekly market updates

Amplyst scans second-hand platforms across Europe and the US — Audiogon, HiFi Shark, eBay, Marktplaats — and updates your setup's estimated resale value weekly.

Upgrade cost modelling

Thinking of selling your amplifier to fund the next one? Amplyst shows you the net cost of a swap: current resale value minus the market price of the suggested replacement.

Value history

Track how your components have appreciated or depreciated over time. Some vintage and limited-production gear behaves more like an asset than a purchase.

Built for
Serious listeners.
Not beginners.
"You've spent years building a system you care about. Amplyst is for people who want to understand it — not be told what to buy."
— The Amplyst philosophy
  • You own real equipment and read the specs.
  • You've been burned by an upgrade that didn't improve anything.
  • You distrust forum recommendations tied to affiliate links.
  • You want to understand synergy, not just collect components.
  • You have at least a source, an amplifier, and speakers.
Not for

People just starting out who need buying guides and beginner recommendations.

Not for

Anyone looking for equipment reviews, product comparisons, or listicles.

Not for

People who want validation of purchases already made. Amplyst is analytical, not reassuring.
