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

True..but John Stronczer at Bel canto does extensive mods and upgrades to correct that problem. As a stock amp, the problem is their and can only be corrected with additional filters and shielding. The newer stock designs from Abletec and Hypex don't have that problem and the in house class D devices from Audio Research and Nuforce seem to overcome those issues as well. B&O ICE amps have been in production since 1999, and recently companies such as Jeff Rowland and D-Sonic have dropped B&O in favor of newer Class-D engineering that is more advanced with less technical problems.

I noticed on B&O's ICE power website that they are in need of engineers and are taking job applications. I found out this morning that the new Pasquale Class-D amps that Jeff Rowland will be using are designed by former B&O engineers.

AudioZen, by pure coincidence, I received today some additional specs for the class D Rowland Continuum Series 2 integrated amplifier.

CONTINUUM Series 2
Integrated Amplifier OUTPUT POWER: 400W @ 8 ohms/800W @ 4 ohms
FREQUENCY RESPONSE: 5 Hz - 70 kHz, -3 dB @ 8 ohms
THD + NOISE: 0.05%, 20 Hz - 20 kHz
INPUTS: 2 pair balanced (XLR) 2 pair unbalanced (RCA) 1 pair unbalanced bypass (RCA)
OUTPUTS: 1 pair balanced (XLR) 1 pair unbalanced (RCA)
WEIGHT: 35 lb / 15.9 kg
DIMENSIONS: 5.3" x 15.5" x 15.0" 135mm x 394mm x 380mm

The device will come in three configs: basic, or with additional DAC card, or with additional phono card.

Thanks Guido fot the info..very excited for the Series 2. Have a feeling that Jeff just may hit one out of the park on this one. Any clue on the MSRP?

Guys,
Since the original thread went off in a different direction, I wanted to keep off the path!
However the latest comment from AZ made me take the bait ;-)

Class D is very different from other classes, if it does not have a few zeros after the decimal point, one has to seriously consider the product. It's specs should be near perfect!! Since class D is doing everything else other than amplifying, spec are out most important. Not that it's not impossible, but knowledge is power! You don't want the manufacturer to just dump a product. In many cases such as tubes it's very easy to "create" a circuit and >50% of the time it will sound good. SS maybe <50%, but will sound acceptable. But with class D is a much smaller chance, and " we". want them to make the right choices. Class A is stuck for a few decades, only new tech in linear amplification recently I hear is from Siltech! Class D is progressing!! Tubes, of course is the golden standard.
