No-one talks about Rowlands anymore

Can anyone get into some details on the type of Class D implementation for the Daemon and/or M535 mono block. Are they NCore? Anyone compare the sound quality of either to the 825 Stereo Amp?

Great co wonderful sounding great service.So what turkeys don't talk about it!!

I'm trying to find a way to compare my Jeff Rowland 625 S2 amplifier to the Luxman M900u amplifier. They are similarly priced and the comparison should give me an idea of where the 625 S2 fits in the high-end world. 

Hello YYZ, @Alsteward might be able to tell us a bit about the sound of Daemon, as he has heard it at Expona.... I have not heard of direct comparisons of M535 with M825 or M925. However, all reports are that M535 is stunningly good for its $5900 USD per chassis. Meantime...

Neither the Rowland Daemon superintegrated, nor the M535 bridgeable are based on NCore modules

Here are some of the features and specs of the Model 535 bridgeable amp in a temporary leaflet that Rowland used at Expona 2018:

M535 utilizes the latest version of the Pascal S2-Pro power conversion module.

In the $38,900 Daemon superintegrated, a Pascal X2-Pro module in the output stage is responsible for its 1500W/8 per side… Yet it plays a small part of the total design. Here is the Daemon page from the Rowland site:

Don't hear much of Rowland or Ayre as well.   I've owned both and think there should be more "buz" about them.  Quality products backed by quality companies.
