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?

McB,

I find my Class D amps to be very revealing of what it is fed. Definitely fertile ground on which to tweak! Thanks for the details.

Mcbuddah..the Abltec amps in your M3 600M's use a new technology designed by Patrik Bostrom that utilizes a patented switching technique called phase shift modulation instead of pulse width modulation. Pascal also uses a new patented technology designed by their technical engineer Jesper Hansen called UMAC Class D. Bruno Putzeys with Ncore, Patrik Bostrom with Abletec, and Jesper Hansen with Pascal, have all designed the newest Class D technologies on the market that puts these guys as the current leader's of the newest Class D innovations. I wouldn't worry about your amps, they are excellent designs.

As I recently posted, Patrik Bostrom designed the worlds finest Class D amplifier with Leif Olofsson, the Marten M-Amp in Sweden. If anyone wants to take the time to check out the genius of Patrik Bostrom, go to the Marten home page and click on the PDF download brochure for the M-Amp which describes in depth innovative details of the advanced technologies invented by Bostrom that reveals his impeccable shear wizardry. An excellent read.
