Is D for Dry? Class D...

The Devialet Expert Pro (a hybrid Class D / Class A amp) driving Magicos. The Magic DAC in the Expert is truly phenomenal. QED Genesis Silver Spiral speaker cables - not the most expensive but they paint the whole picture with a massive airy soundstage that is full bodied and ultra detailed but natural. Tidal music streaming (especially the MQA masters)... = Magic sound that is big, dimensional like vinyl, ultra transparent, complex and nuanced, devoid of distortion. Liquid, smooth and fast. Beautiful... i.e. the opposite of what you say.

i concur with @adameos -- the devialet adh integrated amps are full of saturated rich colors and impact... really lovely sound, just the opposite of ’dry’ and ’lifeless’ -- so one could say that class d amplification is like all else in high end hifi -- when you buy smart, and are willing to pay up for quality, you get what you pay for...

JJSS49; why thank you sir! 

Check out PS Audio Stellar series.  I believe Stereophile did a review praising the M700 mono amps, which I have.  Awesome sounding ...in my opinion.  

ricevs,
I read the 10audio review of the Mivera amp, a stereo stock IceEdge 1200 AS2.  Pretty bad--rolled off HF with all the deadly consequences for detail, spatiality, etc.  I'm sure the 1200 AS1 stock used for each channel would be better, but how much?  Since you believe there is nothing special about Legacy IV2, is it just a stock 1200 AS1 with fancy casework, etc.?  How do you explain the great reviews of the similar IV4 ultra, both from hometheaterhifi and our friend zephyr24069?
