Class D Technology


So I get the obvious strengths of Class D. Efficiency, power output & running cool which allows for small form factors. I also understand the weaknesses somewhat. 1. Non-linear & lots of distortion that needs to be cleaned up with an output filter. 
So my question is, if it weren't for efficiency & power, would there be any reason to own a Class D amp? Do they beat Class A in any other categories that count for sound quality?

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,

Hi Tim, I will verify with Dennis if the M3/1500 monos are based on Pascal X-pro1 or X-Pro2.


About Rowland,


Continuum S2 integrated contains Pascal M-Pro2.

The flagships M825 stereo and M925 monos contain NCore NC1200.

Daemon integrated is the only Rowland amp containing Pascal X-Pro2.


Saluti, Guido




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,

D Sonic has an amp that uses the M-Pro2 boards, not on the website you have to contact Dennis
