Ice Amp 125ASX2

It all depends on the particular amp... The class D module is one of the factors in the sound of an amp, but the sonic characteristics of an amp go far beyond the contribution of the module.

The only amp powered by ICEpower 125 ASX2 that I know is the Rowland M125 bridgeable amp.... It has fully balanced, and is transformer coupled inputs. According to all reports I have heard about M125, it has been found to be a great music maker. See more information at:

Thanks for sharing. I will let you guys know how it compares to my Rega Brio R, which is a brilliant little amp.  

That's interesting about the Rowland M125. These ICE modules appear to be very complete so I wonder how much tweaking can be done.

After comparing Tripath module with ICE one, I figured that Tripath isn't any worse. 

guidocorona,

     Hello, my friend.  I'm glad you found this thread and decided to contribute your thoughts.

     I know you're very knowledgeable about class D amplification and I'm grateful for all the assistance you gave me when I was just beginning my discovery of, and journey into,  the very promising iworld of this constantly evolving technology.   You were instrumental in my decision to continue exploring the numerous class D offerings and increase my own knowledge and experience by trying more of the various class D implementations in my own system.  Reading descriptions of how they perform and sound  has been helpful, however, I think there's no better method than actually auditioning them in your own system.

     I agree completely with your recent post stating that there's more than just the specific class D power module utilized that determines how well the amp performs.  Individual implementations vary on the quality and compatibility of complementay components, the type of power supply, the use of custom input stages among other design factors.  I agree these are important and would suggest that seanheis 1 may want to do some more research before designing and building his DIY amp.  I know www.audiocircle.com   may be a better site to learn from other DIY amp builders than Audiogon.  

     I originally was planning to build a DIY class D amp and I learned a lot of good onfo on this site that mainly consists of DIY amp builders.

Thanks Guido,
     Tim
