Class D Technology

Technical difference aside(which I am not an expert), purely based on the sound, tubes has significantly more naturalness and fatigue-less, yes I understand that every  own has  own preference, but end of the day we are thriving for the sound what we like, which give us endless pleasure and to me Class-D still lacks the connection to the mind which interprets as its as more of digital sound...
Yes, Class-D had the advantage of running cool, clean sound, lower utility bill....it matters with every own of us what we prefer the beautiful analogue  sound or the convenience of the Class-D technology??

There is absolutely no fatigue with the C5i driving any of my speakers including some that are documented to potentially lean that way with the wrong amp.

Georgelofi - if you don’t like the sound of particular amp or even class of them just say it, but making up pseudo-scientific reasons is just plain silly.

You are so screwed if you buy into class D. 

As Donald Trump would say: trust me on this. 

Murgesh what clas d setups have you heard? Why assume that what you heard is indicative of all cases? That’s called jumping to conclusions. My experience is the exact opposite of yours.


The c5i is in fact a digital Class D integrated amp ( not just class d). and the sound is nothing like you describe.
