D amps

Thanks for all the info, very much appreciated!

Musical Fidelity leans towards a warmer sound than say Cambridge Audio or most Class Ds. Class D is not for warmth. Hypex is probably the popular modern implementation that comes closer than Purifi and definitely Pascal. I’ve heard Atmasphere Class D and the sound was more like his tube amps than not.

So don’t make the mistake of thinking all Class D is the same. Some vendors offer different op amps up front that adjusts the sound to different preferences. VTV for example.

Personally, with B&W, which I have owned, I’d probably lean towards Pascal or Purifi. Hypex ncore done well would be perfectly fine.  I tend to lean towards detail rather than warmth.  

I know a lot of people will hate me for this comment but please try the Java hifi single shot amplifier. It’s the best amplifier I have had besides some SET gear period.
