I agree with soix. For example,, you may want to consider the new Peachtree GaN1 digital amp/power DAC. Great sound quality.
New Class D amplifiers
Hello. I'm very interested in getting your opinion on the newer Class D amplifiers. There has been a couple of very positive reviews (by Guttenberg) of the Bel Canto C6i and NAD M23. These, and perhaps some others are offering new technology that significantly lower the class D noise level and other drawbacks.
I currently use a Class A amp, Pass Labs INT-25 (with Dynaudio Heritage Special speakers) which has a wonderful sound. But I am transitioning to another location, and due to using Roon primarily I find that this system stays on most of the day. Due to heat and power usage of Class A amplifiers, I'm interested in translating to Class D if I find something comparable.

Technics has two wonderful sounding Class D integrateds. The SU-G700M2 (which I have) and the SU0R1000 (the bigger brother). All the best, |
I suggest checking out the D-Sonic M3a-800S. This will give you 400 wpc or 2x the max rating of your speaker. I have their M3a-600M mono-blocks, which at 600 wpc provide 2x the max rating of my ATC Scm-19's. The headroom and high dampening factor provide great control over the speakers, even at lower listening levels.

You might want to consider the Lyngdorf SDA 2400. There are also plenty other like NAD, Bel Canto or Mola Mola. From my experience Class D is very neutral, can sound brilliant with a good source from the preamplifier, or be unforgiving with a poor signal. it’s - as always - a matter of matching. |
