Anyone Recently Change to Class D power?


Sell your Class A or Tube gear and truly improve your SQ?

Some recent reviews have me wondering if "D" could be better?

It is certainly more compact, lighter and cooler. 

Let's say your price point is $10k Max. No stretching.


Anybody been down that rabbit hole recently?

Await your experiences.

the best of them being the bel canto ref600m hypex amps, I still found them lacking in realism and tonality..
Yes they use the same Hypex NC500 modules that I have, I found the same they were the best of Class-D’s I’ve heard also, but also found the same as you about the sound, re body and flesh.

I then subbed out the smp power supply’s for a very large linear powersupply, and things improved greatly.
Then for even as much improvement again, I bypassed the input buffers totally and fed my dac into the NC500 module direct, this was a real eye/ear opener, like someone opened the window to the sound stage and depth department, transparent, very dynamic and great bass.
I can now happily listen to them in my second system, which is relatively easy to drive, they still don’t do it for me on the main hard to drive system.

Thank you all for sharing your experiences with Class D power .
It seems to fit with what I expected but one thing is still not addressed.

Merrill Audio.

Of course this line is way pricey- $15k for the lowest priced Integrated I believe.
I know several people (with Stereo $ to burn) who are replacing class A gear with
this line.  This tells me trickle down will happen eventually and there may be hope
for class D. Mr. Pass feels it not worth pursuing for safety reasons I am told.
But any amp can burn down your home, right?

?????????????????

Weird. 
Safety????  You would think high current amps that run ultra hot would be far less safe than lower current amps that are cool.  You can debate whether they sound good, but I don't think there is any criticism in terms of safety of Class Ds.  

What speakers are you running?  Your going to get very different recommendations for Harbeth or Vandersteen vs Kef or Magico.
