Class D Technology

erik can’t say for sure based on one or two example demos. These were about 3 years ago with newer larger SS Mc amps.

Personally I often would like to be able to hear an edge that’s not muted if in teh recording. Not in everything played categorically though. The Mcs would probably have been fine for this if set up the way I liked rather than how the dealer decided to do it.


Guaranteed the edge would be less on my OHM speakers versus with Totem or Dynaudio or many others that are not inherently more laid back in presentation. Only some modern pop .mp3 files I play from time to time have any edge at all with the OHMs. Much more so with Dynaudios in my smaller room with speakers not far from listening poisition and off same Class D amp. Most .mp3s which are inherently known for artifacts that can contribute to harshness/brightness are still quite listenable.


I’m a purest but not a pure purist.

Hi Guido,

     I think you're correct that the D-Sonic stereo amp (M3-3000S) uses the Pascal X-Pro2 module, the same module JRRG uses in their C2 integrated,  and their top of the line mono-blocks(M3-1500M) utilize Pascal X-Pro1 modules. 

    The D-Sonic M2-1500M received an excellent review by 6Moons. According to Dennis, the M2 and M3 1500 monos are the exact same and both utilize Pascal X-Pro1 modules.  Here's a link to the review:

Thanks,

Guido,

     You are correct that the Rowland Continuum C2 contains the Pascal M-Pro2 module, not the Pascal X-Pro2 module.  My mistake,
   
Thanks,

Thanks for your observations. I've never been drawn to McIntosh, so I never end up listening to them for long. :)

Best,
