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

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.

Thanks 4orreal ... so it's not just me thinking the exact same thing.

Audiozen,
The doctrine you are preaching here is what is good for Peter is good for Paul. In aduio, there's such a thing like that if you peronally know people whose ears you can trust. So you are saying what Paul and Peter have "heard" and are singing praises about is the same as what you have "not" heard and singping praises about are the same thing? I think you have a problem somewhere. If not, why can't you come onboard with the Ncore modules, since people are singing praises about them everywhere? Don't even bring the "price" issue because that is very subjective, because I have some friends who think the money they spend on driking (alcohol) is well worth it than the money I put in my audio system.

4orreal..I don't have a problem anywhere. Deeply involved as an Audiophile for 40 years, and having spent many years listening to tube and solid state gear in high end store sound rooms up and down the coast back in the late 70's, 80's and 90's, and having owned over ten audio systems, both tube and solid state, I think I have a pretty well seasoned handle on how to assess and evaluate very experienced Audiophiles and their reviews of their listening experiences with Class D amps. Why am I not on the Ncore band wagon and not a Bruno Putzeys groupie? I have already explained in a previous post that the Ncore NC1200 switching amp and the matching SMPS1200 power supply are not the leading cutting edge. Bruno was at the top of his game five years ago but during the past three years better designs have emerged at cheaper prices. Who is the current King of the Class D jungle? ABLETEC!! The finest and most powerful Class D amp on the planet are the Marten M-Amp mono blocks from Sweden. They weigh 100 lbs a piece and run cool. Costs is $45K a pair. These amps ain't for kiddies. The Marten's use Abletec switching amps. Erick Lichte reviewed the Marten's in Stereophile back in 2011 and described them as sounding like very powerful, rich tube amplifiers portraying voice's like Class A amps. The very best value for Class D amps on the market today is the D-Sonic M3 1200S stereo amplifier that uses two top of the line Abletec mono block amps in one chassis. The cost of the amp is a ridiculous $1675.00. The amp puts out 600 watts into 8ohms and 1200 watts into 4ohms. Don't piss $12,000.00 down the drain on a pair of Merrill Veritas amps that have a Ncore NC1200 and SMPS1200 which a set will cost you $1000.00 wholesale, which Merrill paid $2000.00 for two sets for a pair of his amps and doesn't have to dicount to retailers, indicates he's taking you for a ride and laughing all the way to the bank. Buy the D-Sonic instead and invest the remaining $10K to upgrade the rest of your system. I neglected to mention that many Audiophiles on Audiogon give very high praise to the sound quality of the current TEAC integrated amps that use Abletec.

Audiozen, this is fascinating... How does your D-Sonic M3 1200S stereo amplifier sound like... Please share your experiences with us. Long suffering audiophrenic minds want to know! G.
