Here is an example of today’s switching frequency trying to be filtered by Mark Levinson No.53 with the $50k usd Class-D. They tried very hard by as you can see by the 4 massive x filter chokes added together (paralleled or series or both) to give a steeper filtering effect on the switching frequency, it worked as the 10khZ square wave shows, without the use of Stereophiles AUX-0025 passive low-pass low power filter, but adding filters together is well known to create other problems, this amp it seems was not a success for ML.
" However, the more I listened, the more the overall sonic picture seemed flat and uninvolving. An enigma.—John Atkinson"

ML Class-D 10khz square wave without Stereophiles special testing filter.
As you can see very acceptable for Class-D with no switching frequency ringing getting through those filters.
