Class D is just Dandy!

I thought it was time we had a pro- Class D thread. There's plenty of threads about comparisons, or detractors of Class D.

That's fine, you don't have to like Class D amps, and if you don't please go participate on one of those threads.

For those of us who are very happy and excited about having musical, capable amps that we can afford to keep on 24/7 and don't require large spaces to put them in, this thread is for you.

Please share your experiences with class D amps!

I will say, for the form factor, the Mytek is really small, even for a digital amp. I'm VERY curious to know what is inside it. :)  A scaled down nCore? Pair of Pascal amps???? Hmmmm......my screwdrivers scream to be let loose to see inside. :)

I'm such a fanboy Mytek should send me a prototoype. :)

Best,

randy-11982 posts05-19-2017 9:50amI also saw news on a new Class D amp from Constellation with very high switching freq. - dunno if it uses GaN devices...

Just checked, just the same as everyone else 600-800khz if they used the new GaN semiconductors it would be 1.5mHz, I wish they did, then that would mean supply to the little folk is available. Technics probably have a monopoly on them for now.
" Its Class D amplifiers use a special topology with ultra-high-frequency 600 kHz switching"

Cheers George

I purchased a ATI AT523NC 3-channel amplifier to drive my center and rear speakers. I will have it tomorrow and post comments shortly.

I want to interrupt y'all for a millisecond and make the observation that this is the most positive thread of it's sort in progress on AG at this time.

Thanks, Eric....and all y'all that don't feel threatened by a 'new tech' that's beginning to make it's mark on the thing we love....the reproduction of the music we fill our lives with.

The more support you give it, the better it will become.  Twas always thus...;)
