Class D is just Dandy!

I just ordered a Cherry amp, from digital amplifier company, arrives in 3 days. My local buddy brought his over for a jam. Another buddy loaned me NCore / hypex 400 monos AND Rowland 525 monos, all in the last month. Lotsa Class D for me lately on audition.

Anyhoo, the modern Class D coming out now are amazing. Lightweight, barely uses juice, runs cool, all that. But the sound! Neutral, effortless dynamics due to the huge power. If you've not heard a higher end D amp in a rig, go try to.

Anyhoo II, I'll post my Cherry thoughts soon I reckon, later this month. I'm sure y'all on edge of seat in anticipations.

Hi scott_w,

Congrats on your soon to arrive DAC amp. You're fortunate you were able to audition 2 different class D amps in your system before you purchased. Typically, you’re required to purchase the amp and then audition it during an in-home trial period. But I suspect companies have a very low % of amps returned through these programs.
You named 2 of the 3 main common sonic qualities I’ve experienced with good class d amps: a very neutral flavoring and effortless dynamics. The other main sonic quality that is typically clearly evident in good examples of class D amps is how quiet they are. Music seems to emerge from a dead silent background that seems to enhance the musical impact and details perceived.
Welcome to the Great Sounding Green Amps Club.
Please post back with your impressions once you’re able to audition for awhile.

Very understandable, as your Maggie 2.7's like most Maggie's has a very benign 4ohm load that doesn't need that much current, just watts.
You should use the 4ohm tap for best control, penalty is you'll loose wattage compared to the 8ohm tap.

I'm using Devialet (Class A/D Hybrid) after many years of Krell, Pass Labs, BAT, Mark Levinson and McIntosh ownership, and I have no plans to go back to using legacy (Class A/B) amplifiers. The size, weight, efficiency, aesthetics and sound of the new technology is awesome.
