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?

So is it confirmed or not that the D Sonics use vanilla Pascal amps? No differences?

Mapman, at this point it is still all conjectural. The pics posted on 6moons or other sites may or may not reflect current production. I am not aware of any official statements by D-Sonic about the suppliers and modules used. The D-sonic site is unspecific about the subject:

Abletec? Pascal? Isn't the OP reflecting about the sound re the great 6moons review? How about the biggest bang for your buck?

Hi Vladimir, of course you are right, an amplifier can justify its existance only on its audible performance. On the other hand, D-Sonic is utilizing some very innovative technologies to achieve its price/performance goals... And that is a fascinating topic as well. G.

If you look at the pictures and compare the data, you can conclude the D-Sonic is using the Pascal X-PRO1 in their M2-1500M amp. (with their own input board, mainly for impedance matching I assume)
