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!

@uberwaltzi used the Classe for all my video sources and my DAC.  It worked very well.  If I wouldn’t have tried the Esoteric I could have lived with the Classe for a long time.  I didn’t use the internal DAC or streaming capability though.

Just curious how you came to rank the Lyngdorf last?
For my needs the room correction may be a winner.
Thank you

@uberwaltz - I would have liked to tone down the midrange a little from what RoomPerfect picked, but you can’t make manual adjustments unlike the Classe. It just didn’t work for me in my room.

Agreed it might have been better to be able to tailor the eq manually instead of just having the option to change preset curves from neutral.
However so far in my room to my ears I am liking it.
I performed a 12 point calibration initially and now I cannot bear to listen to it without the roomperfect running as i have way too much bass colouration.
Additionally the built in dac suits my needs well, all I would wish for is a little more power but it seems you truly cannot have everything...lol
