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?

AudioZen and all, ICEh2oaudio.com is back online at:
http://iceh2oaudio.com/
Henry's current phone number is listed as:
1 713 371 7591
which indicates that Henry has moved West, and now resides in my state of Texas.

may I now gently suggest that we return this thread to the discussion of technical merits of Abletec and other new generation class-D power conversion modules, to their application to actual amplifier components, and to the findings of those who have had an early chance of listening to such creatures.

Regards, G.

Henry..I thoroughly read through your site last night and all the reviews. I noticed you amps have an input impedance of only 8000 ohms. Wow thats low! Never seen an amp below 10K ohms. Curious as to why you don't adjust the input stage to raise the input impedance to make it easier for Preamps to drive your amps. Have you explored the recent developments of alternative current modulation from Abletec and Hypex, and do you have any plans to use their products in the near future, or do you think their approach to alternative modulation is nothing more than snake oil?
