best-sounding class D amp?


I'm not interested in starting another discussion about technology, or performance parameters. (You know who you are.)

I know that there are different brands and designs of modules used in these amps, and different implementations, with additional maker-specific circuitry around the module.

What I *am* interested in hearing about is first-hand listening impressions of the most natural, full-bodied class D amp you've heard, with a preference for those (few?) that hew to the slightly warmer rather than cooler side of neutral.

I’ve only heard NCore based amps NAD and Purifi based VTV , hey both sounded very good but in my subjective opinion I liked the Purifi based. I believe Nord, March, Apollon make these. The one I would really like to hear is the new NAD M33 based on Purifi.
Over the decades I have owned quite a few class Ds. Of late (last 3 years) I had the Emerald Physics 100.2SE monos with special fuses), Audio Alchemy DPA-1, PS Audio M700s and now a no longer made EVS 1200. All of these were used with the same power cord connecting my Core Power 1800 to a 20 amp dedicated line. About 10 days ago, I decided to replace the boutique PC ($800) with a Wire World Electra 7 ($240).


I am in the "life- like" group who prefers sharp edges when they exist on the medium, dead quiet sound stage and excellent imaging. When I switched to the WW: BAM, but it's a blessing and a curse. Why? Because it doesn't soften ALL music as does the boutique PC, and not all CDs sound natural.


I suspect the PD Asuio M1200s, which have a tube input buffer, will sound comfy

I'm surprised to find no mention of Jeff Roland amps, which I thought might be mentioned.  Or PS Audio.
I agree totally with tweak1. About 4 months ago I took a trip and listened to the Wyred for sound and Primare I25 and I 35. A small sampling for sure but heard enough of the I35 to prefer it over the WFS.
Why? The Primare seemed more natural to me. Transients and first notes decayed and attacked as they should. No leaning to either side with no roll off. That’s the kind of sound I prefer.
It is what makes things "real" sounding for me but I was a professional trumpet player once and anything can only come a stones throwaway at best from that type of sound.
