Is D for Dry? Class D...

My back and I love our Class D Arion Audio S-500 amp. Not dry at all.  Neutral and squeeky clean top to bottom.  YMMV, but never underestimate the ability of a talented designer to get the sound he wants from any topology.

Clearly you have not critically listened to a NAD M33 streaming HR Qobuz.

"Surely a company like Crown with their engineering team can produce a high-quality class D amp? XLS-1502? I'd like to buy one and try it out!" 

Surely the can't Jason! I bought one out of curiosity and it is really bad. Returned it.

Wrong! I’ve had Sonic Frontiers big boy tube amp with 8 KT88’s , class A/B solid state amps, Japanese SET tube mono blocks...

Currently running Channel Islands Audio class D amps, they are the best I’ve owned and don’t heat up the house or weigh much... I have lots of good cables and tweaks, but it’s super liquid, airy, smooth, and neutral... Amazing tightness and deep bass...

Agree that class D is not dry…. Until you hear class A or tubes. It’s all relative.
