Which Class D Amplifier? PS Audio, Ghent, Nord, Merrill or other???


I’m looking for a new amp & want Class D.

I’ve seen various brands mentioned, such as PS Audio, Ghent, Nord, Merrel to name a few, but I’ve not heard any of them.

Which company is producing the best sounding Class D?
Which models should I be looking to demo?


Thanks

tweak1,

     Understood.  I no longer listen to Coldplay discs on my home system due to poor recording quality but I still enjoy these discs on my OEM car system.
     I've discovered that music files recorded direct to digital are especially good source material that are consistently well recorded and mastered.  I have several hi-res 24bit/96KHz FLAC files downloaded from a Dutch site called Sound Liaison:

     These are all direct to digital master recordings of live music played at their large studio. Downloads are available in various digital formats from FLAC to DSD.  
     The audio quality is excellent top to bottom with uncompressed dynamics that make them easily sound better than my ripped cds.

Update:

I have 2 burn in discs that I use. For some reason I neglected to use them as soon as I inserted the PSA kit. Last night I hit replay all and let one spin for at least 5 hours (muted of course), then again this morning for a couple more. I then played Jennifer Nettles Playing With Fire, which I played the day before the burn in disc. 

Far from erased all issues, BUT, nonetheless an amazing transformation. The entire sound stage is more spread out. The location of musicians and backup singer,s as well as tone and clarity is significantly improved
I suggest auditioning the Mola Mola Kulga class D amps for exceptional performance. Hypex 1200 implementation is key, so not all Hypex 1200 amps will  sound the same. Also, because an amp uses GaN doesn’t necessarily make it better.
