What's after Class D?
Well, as usual, probably improvements on what we've got. Sounds like GaN (Gallium Nitride) transistors can handle very high voltages and very high current and very high frequencies. Perhaps useful for class A, A/B, G etc - because they cmight vastly reduce output delta t, so feedback works better - but almost certainly wonderful for D. Much better edges, so fewer errors for the system to compensate for.
And, of course, all this hifi stuff is for pleasure. It's nice to know that product X has immeasurable distortion under all circumstances, but of you prefer listening to product Y, then go for it. I prefer Burgundy, but there are those who drink Bordeaux. Neither I nor they word - or rather should - argue that my preference is 'the absolute best'; just that 'I prefer'.
It's true that many designers want accuracy first. Good! But if you prefer the sound of something else, go for it.
But don't tell me that you're right and I'm wrong for enjoying my Kii Threes.
