Competitive class D amp suggestions

@niodari 

The UcDs were DIY amps that I build over 10 yrs ago.  Ncore via Teac, NAD, and Cambridge designs.   Purifi via Mivera.

I have always found that the source content really defined the listening experience. Garbage in...garbage out.

Never listened to vinyl and relied on CDs before streaming.  Had high end Levinson transports, class A amps.  Doesn't compare to streaming native content that I'm experiencing now.

I have to say that my old UcD 700 monoblocks sound really good through my Roon core and streaming via Qobuz.  The Purifi's are a good step above and my current reference.  The Class D GaN 5 gives me another level of definition.  I can't really describe it (and not going to throw out all the reviewers terms).  It just has me saying, I've listened to this song 1000 times and wow, it really sounds so much better.  If I had to use one word....layering.  Not 3D, but something special.

Looking forward to the Peachtree stuff and will also be trying the Rose RA180 when it hits the US.

They use GaN FETS and hence have almost  immeasurably low THD & noise.

Also try different and better AC power cords. My only experience with class D was with older Bel Canto ref500m, thought they were so-so until I upgraded the PCs to DH audio red wave with furutech plugs, result was much better. I’ve heard the newer Bel cantos like ref600m are better still, you might take a look, but I’m leaning GAN design for cleaner treble and better imaging. There's no contest when you look at 10kHz square waves or treble THD. I’m still happily using class AB ML 532h. The atmosphere class d got a favorable mention in a trade show review recently. Benchmark AHB isn’t class D but might also interest you, and 30 day money back. Good luck and please tell us what you tried and selected.
