D-SONIC SOA Class-D Core Amps. The best Class-D ?


Owner/Designer Dean Deacon of D-Sonic in Houston in recent months dropped using the B&O ICE amps which he now only uses in the surround channels of his multi-channel home theater amps. He now uses a new Class-D amp in all of his Magnum2 mono and two channel amps which he states is the most technically advanced Class-D amp on the market, called the SOA Class-D core amps. The recent review in 6Moons of his new M2-1500M amp concludes its the closest that Class-D has ever come to tube amps in the upper mid-range and high frequencies.
Anyone bought or heard recently the D-Sonic M2-1500M or the M2-600M? What are your opinions?

A recent phone conversation with Dennis Deacon at D-Sonic, he mentioned the M2 and M3 series top models use the same amps. Based on recent interior pics I came across, the M3 600M mono blocks are using Abletec amps and the M3 1500M mono blocks are using Pascal amps.
Audiozen,
From what I gather from your postings, you seem to care more about the technology or the parts used in the amps you rave about than actually trying to listen to them and posting your impressions. While technology and quality of parts matters, I have come to realize that at the end of the day it's the execution and the "sound" that matters most. I think you will do us good if you make efforts to listen to the amps you rave about and share your impressions here.
I do go on forums and threads of many consumers who purchase these products and read their listening experiences which is basically the same thing if I gave you an opinion of what I heard. All of us are aware that its about the sound and not just about the technology. Its a combination of both. Since retailers are dying on the vine, I don't have the time to fly all over the country to all the high end shows just to listen to gear since I don't work for a mag and I'm not a reviewer. However, reading opinions of audiophiles on other forums besides Gon who buy Class D amps will still provide an accurate picture of the sound quality of these products.
