Atma-Sphere Class D… Amazing
Today I picked up my Atma-Sphere Class D Amps. These aren’t broken in yet. And they are simply amazing. I’ve listen to a lot of High End Class D. Some that cost many times what Atma-Sphere Class D costs. I wasn’t a fan of any of them. But these amps are amazing. I really expected to hate them. So my expectations were low. The Details are of what I’ve never heard from any other amps. They are extremely neutral. To say the realism is is extremely good is a gross understatement. They are so transparent it’s scary. These amps just grab you and suck you into the music. After I live with them some and get them broken in. And do some comparisons to some other high end Amps Solid State, Tubes and Class D’s, also in other systems I’ll do a more comprehensive review. But for now, these are simply amazing amps.. Congrats to Ralph and his team. You guys nailed on these.
Is anyone running a DAC direct into the Atma-Sphere Class D mono block amplifiers or is a pre-amp required? From my past previous experiments, I believe a preamp is needed to help the music sound natural, clearer, and engaging. I believe that a preamp helps makes the music more engaging and sounding better. I do not know. Does the Atma-Sphere Class D mono block amplifier design help them sound great without an preamp? Your comments are required. Thanks......

For owners of the Atmos-Sphere Class D amps, how do they sound? Are they analytical, warm, etc? What about their detail resolution, imaging, soundstage size, bass, mid range, highs, etc. What do these mono block amps do that you like and what do you dislike (if any)? In another words, can we please forget the specific technology and talk about their impact on your audio system in terms of sound quality. Any additional comments are requested in terms of sound quality (and not the technology). If possible, I would interesting in how these class D amps compare to other amps you owned such as class A, class A/B and other class D amps. Thanks. Should I audition the Atmosphere-Sphere class D amps and why? |
@klh007, As you posted above, @ddafoe's System details says he owns the Meitner MA3 DAC. |
