Hey Ric, nice to see you around, 20 years ago I had one of your wonderful modded Dacs.
That was my point, how do you account for DF independently. My point too was more about lowish DF vs. the ridiculously high DF in most of the OEM modules, one of the keys to the bad sound of class D IMO, especially with my recent experience with the DS225. I get to this a matching issue, I listen mostly to easy to control 2 -ways.
I can say this with confidence, strap 20db of NFB on my DS225, gain match a test into a typical woofer with nothing but bass lines and I am going to be able to tell you when I am listening to to DF of 167 vs a significant multiple of that, and I would not need to hear the normal deterioration of the mids and highs. I would agree, amps sound different for a variety of reasons but extremely low output impedance class D amps share a house sound that to me is similar to way too much NFB in a class A/B design.
