Class D is just Dandy!

Could be. But it could also be in addition to.

Looking at the specs for the B&O amps for instance, they could benefit from this idea.

Also, as I have noted, you CAN do this yourself using miniDSP, if you were so inclined. I wish I had the time/space/energy, it would be a fun project.

Anyone running the PS Audio DirectStream DAC directly into their Class D amp? If so, are you using the filter on the DAC? Any idle noise when the display is lit on the DAC?

@erik_squires - worth a shot, class D modules are cheap...

This is a brief tangent from the current topic but I wanted to give an update to those that helped me in selecting a class D amp. I was fortunate enough to pick up a Red Dragon S500 power amplifier from a fellow Audiogoner and I could not be happier!  The amplifier is truly all that it has been touted to be. Effortless delivery of power, clean, smooth, extremely detailed with excellent separation but without harshness. I could go on and on, but the end message is: class D is the real deal. Even to my untrained ears there is a noticeable difference in the "feel" of the music (please excuse the lack of the usual audiophile adjectives). I think one of the most amazing things is how good it sounds even though the rest of my system (other than my ls50s) can be considered low-budget components!  Thanks again to all of you that gave input to guide me along this class D odyssey! 

hi @autre 

Glad you found this thread useful and that you bought something you like.

Remind me please, what are you comparing the Red Dragon to? 

Best,
