I'm afraid I don't buy your premise that class D is always behind A/B, or even behind class A universally. I'm listening to class D precisely because they were as good as heavily class A biased linear amplifiers, though just like linear amps, I can see them having limitations with specific difficult to drive speakers.
Further, I don't buy that ranking tech in order really helps us understand sound quality very much at all. I assure you I can make a terrible sounding class A amplifier. :D
I think while it's cool, and fun to understand what's different, and how compromises and problems are solved, and how dac X is different than dac Y, I'm not one who puts this above personal impressions.
Best,
Erik
