Thanks for the heads-up. I was not familiar with the new Pioneer Class-D AVRs. They look great.
Cheers,
Scott

Class D is just Dandy!
I thought it was time we had a pro- Class D thread. There's plenty of threads about comparisons, or detractors of Class D.
That's fine, you don't have to like Class D amps, and if you don't please go participate on one of those threads.
For those of us who are very happy and excited about having musical, capable amps that we can afford to keep on 24/7 and don't require large spaces to put them in, this thread is for you.
Please share your experiences with class D amps!

@erik_squires Thanks for starting this. I had just ordered a NuPrime IDA-16 class-D amp when this popped up. It is a great amp. Many have already described how good class-D can be so I won't go into that. I'll just say I concur. Anyone looking for an amp owe it to themselves to at least check out some class-D offerings. It's new and I'm only a week in with about 70 hours on it but my NuPrime is the most satisfying amp I've listened to since giving up my octal tube pre/845 SET amp. No, it doesn't sound like tubes but it so musical and easy to listen to. Here's to class-D! Cheers, Scott |
I'm using a little HiFiBerry AMP+ that's mounted on top of a Raspberry Pi 3 Model B in our family room to drive some old JBL 4311B studio monitors. The RPi is running Roon Bridge, so it serves as a Roon output. This combination sounds surprisingly good. I have not tried this little gizmo in the big rig, but it's clear that there's fun to be had at all price points in Class D these days. https://www.dsnyder.ws-e.com/photos/potn/HiFiBerry_AMP+.jpg |
Hi Everyone, I owned a Rogue Pharaoh for over a year. I can attest to how good it sounds...it was a vast improvement in every way over the Cronus Magnum it replaced. It drove my Magnepan 1.7s very nicely. What I really enjoyed was how responsive it was when tube rolling the two 12au7s in the preamp section. You could really taylor the sound to you music & speakers. |
