Nuforce STA200

I am curious about the Nuforce STA200 amplifier  If anyone has experience with the amp it would be appreciated if you would share your listening impressions, both good and bad.  Some of the descriptions I have read classify it as a class AB amp and others a class D amp.  I am not technical savvy about these things, can a single amplifier be both? 
Thanks

I am not concerned one way or the other, but based on the above and the link, do you believe that the Nuforce and Job are more or less similar amplifiers?

It is well documented that the STA200 is a scaled down version of the Job 225, which is based on a Goldmund reference design.

Yes, but at what point does having, as you mentioned above, different caps, resistors, power transformers and RCA jacks override the similarity in sound from having similar circuits?

Not a concern one way or the other to me, I like the amp.

sound is extremely similar...at the original list price, most found the Job a much better value, both for the extra power and the Goldmund name...so fortunately for us, the Nuforce was continued at this outrageously low price...
