The original Atom Amp+ uses a single LME49600 buffer per channel. Adding parallel buffers increases power proportionally. However, LME49600s are large chips–not exactly optimal. Replacing the single, large buffer with numerous, less powerful buffers achieves the same goal in less space. Parallel buffers also happen to cancel out some common mode noise, pushing the noise floor even lower.

Damn. Take my money now.
