High end Class D amps?

Just an observation and a question. Are there 'high end' Class D amps out there that are just as good as Class A, A/B amps? I realize that's a sensitive question to some and I mean no disrespect---but whenever I see others' hifi systems on social media, all of the amps are A or A/B. There's always Pass, McIntosh, Moon, Luxman, Accuphase, etc. Where are the Class Ds? For folks out there that want more power for less efficient speakers and can't afford the uber expensive Class As, A/Bs, what is there to choose from that's close to those brands? Thanks

George, keep digging that hole. I am not the one spreading false information in a one man crusade against something I don't understand, that is you. If your only refuse is attempted personal attacks, then I suggest you exit this argument which you are clearly unprepared for. It is time to let this Class-D crusade go. You are the knight without a sword riding a lame horse.

After probably at least a year of driving my EVS 1200 direct from my LPM moded Oppo 105, and having upgraded all cables and speakers I decided to reinsert my Audio Alchemy DDP- 1 + PS 5.


It took a solid 24 hours to relax, and certainly sounds better than when I first reinserted it. I meant to hit replay on my 105 before I went out last night, so it wasn't running any signal. At first I was disappointed, but then realized I needed to turn the volume all the way up on the 105, which I did just before heading out last night


Now, the 'problem' is: when I want to play SACD/DVD-As, I have to reroute my cables back to direct, which is a RPITA. What I did before was also hooked up my Marantz HDCD-1 (as a transport) to the DDP-1, and run them separate. That may be what I do again "Back to the Future"
