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!

Anyone had a chance to audition the Mytek Brooklyn Class D Amp?

It's been years since I've auditioned a class D amp, I can't remember which brand/model, I do remember it sounding harsh (to me), but from what I'm reading, class D amps have come a long way lately.

Hi @ejr1953

I have not, but I am a huge fan of the Brooklyn Pre/DAC!

Best,

Erik,
I too am a big fan.  I have a PS Audio DirectStream DAC, but found it didn't sound so good decoding MQA (even when Tidal did the unfold), so I bought a Brooklyn for MQA.
I hope they will have a booth or a dealer at the Capital Audiofest, plan to attend this year, hope to hear the new amp, if it's on display.

Erik, and all the contributors,
After having read this thread from top to bottom - lots of good information - my question is: Did someone compare the amplifiers from Class D Audio to the ones from Ghent Audio? Because most likely I will order one from these two.
