best-sounding class D amp?

Over the decades I have owned quite a few class Ds. Of late (last 3 years) I had the Emerald Physics 100.2SE monos with special fuses), Audio Alchemy DPA-1, PS Audio M700s and now a no longer made EVS 1200. All of these were used with the same power cord connecting my Core Power 1800 to a 20 amp dedicated line. About 10 days ago, I decided to replace the boutique PC ($800) with a Wire World Electra 7 ($240).


I am in the "life- like" group who prefers sharp edges when they exist on the medium, dead quiet sound stage and excellent imaging. When I switched to the WW: BAM, but it's a blessing and a curse. Why? Because it doesn't soften ALL music as does the boutique PC, and not all CDs sound natural.


I suspect the PD Asuio M1200s, which have a tube input buffer, will sound comfy

I'm surprised to find no mention of Jeff Roland amps, which I thought might be mentioned.  Or PS Audio.

I agree totally with tweak1. About 4 months ago I took a trip and listened to the Wyred for sound and Primare I25 and I 35. A small sampling for sure but heard enough of the I35 to prefer it over the WFS.
Why? The Primare seemed more natural to me. Transients and first notes decayed and attacked as they should. No leaning to either side with no roll off. That’s the kind of sound I prefer.
It is what makes things "real" sounding for me but I was a professional trumpet player once and anything can only come a stones throwaway at best from that type of sound.

My favorite is the Rogue Hydra with a big caveat that I have rolled in NOS Cifte Tubes.  Massive soundstage though it is a hair finicky in terms of preamp matching and does best with very low to no gain.
