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!

Most Class D amps I know of do considerably better. I'm more than a little surprised PS Audio put that out there.


Please show just one Class-D, with a clean 1khz sine wave, without using the Audio Precision's auxiliary AUX-0025 passive low-pass low power filter.

Cheers George

Heard it again, still don’t like it. Wyrd4sound and..
Veritas amps, looked cool, sound was blah to me. 
I like class a, or ab, even a switching class h has more feeling to the music.  Something about the d sound just don’t sit right with me. 

 It’s just.........like 1 dimensional, or no emotion to the music, a,ab,h just have a quality to them when I’m listening, I don’t get from d class sound. 

H class I’m referring to is my Carver sunfire.

I have owned the Bel Canto Black EX DAC and amp for over a month now. Wonderful.

Sorry George, as always, you are going to have to pivot from one point to another by yourself. If you need a dance partner it is not me.
