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.
Tim
