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

The thing I wonder is, if one is in the market for a "good" Class D amp, why would you not try a less expensive solution like D-Sonic first before investing traditional big bucks in an amp? Part of the benefit is the size and efficiency of Class D versus a traditional monster amp. Yes, there is a lot of new technology still that goes into it, but a lot can seemingly be saved by not having to have a big massive box with large heat sinks, etc. in order to get similar performance because the Class D is so much more efficient. THat should translate to lower cost over time as these things become more common for use in cases where monster amps were needed prior.

mikha: that is one gorgeous amp. please report back when you get your class d, whichever you choose.

Has anyone compared single ended vs. balanced? Does it make a difference with the D-sonic M3 amps?

Thanks,

for me, the balanced mode is far better.

I wonder how an amp like the Emotiva XPR-2 with 600 watts into 8ohms would compare sound-wise to this amp? they are completely different animals and the Emotiva looks like a truck with heat and a huge power consumption to go with it, but interesting nonetheless where sound is concerned.
