Analog is obsolete pure digital not class D ...

phCollie he would give "Willie and the hand jive" a run.
 yea agreed albums are dead, CDs are dead, even the grateful dead is dead.  

Well, yeah, kind of.

A pure Class D amp is a linear amplifier with a switching output.  There is no A/D or D/A conversion really, instead it relies on a feedback loop to switch on and off.

Technics is using all of that.  A/D, DSP and a switching output without a feedback loop.  It's more of a feed-forward correction.

You could do this yourself, by the way.  Assuming you had the measurement tools you could do this all with a miniDSP type of circuit.

erik_squires would that be an improvement over class D or just a variation of a class D sound which I understand to be light in the bass.
My knowledge is also light on such matters but it sounds like an amp for everyone SS and analog guys alike as headphone and phono stage appear to be  very good

Understanding or repeating prejudice?

Fuzztone  I do not understand your comment.
