Yes, it is a Class D design.  It showcases what the absolute peak capabilities of this design are currently.  You also get a phenomenal DAC (I used to have a PS Audio DirectStream and it is bested by the one in the Aavik unit) and phono stage.

You probably would be satisfied with any of your candidates, but my auditioning stopped at the D'agnostino Momentum. I was immediately impressed with the fine grain resolution and the pure natural sound, even at low loudness levels. The soundstage is wide and defined in spite of my lack of room treatment. It provides more than adequate punch for the bass and I also like the controls and their feel. In addition, it passes the spouse decor test. She has commented, "finally a piece of equipment that looks as good as it sounds".
