Jeff Rowland was asked a question similar to this a few years ago and basically replied that it's what a designer does with the technology that counts as opposed to one classification being necessarily better than another.
Class A or Class D solid-state amplifiers (modern designs)
Hey guys.
Class A is supposedly superior. Something to do with a conduction angle of 360 degrees...so the entire signal gets processed in one go without crossover distortion.
But in terms of sound quality (subjective enjoyment) is there a benefit to Class A? Can class D provide the same level of enjoyment?
The dealer I’m talking to says that really nice Class A amplifiers are designed for "reference quality" meaning completely true to the real life performance.
Let’s compare and contrast. Which one is technically better?
In other words, could you have equal technical performance and quality in a Class D amp?

@bigkidz when you say "we" have not heard a class D amplifier that competes in SQ who are "we"‽ |
