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.

Wow has this thread gone off the rails! All b/c of one member.

Well this person also tends to not practice what he preaches. Below is what he posted in September last year:

Sadly, there are many small minded people who can't accept that their opinions on the matter are unimportant to a great many.

Based on this, it tells me that this person not only has a small mind, but an even smaller brain!

@ricevs , if I understood it correctly,  does an essential part of your moding consist of verifying and replacing wiring,  capacitors and resistances, or something similar? Do you rely on your personal sonic preferences, how you attain a better sound reproduction? 

@ricevs mentioned this new brand to me a few days ago. Ric is modding my Peachtree GAN1 (to his preferences of course). This other amp he mentioned is the same as the GAN1 in spirit. It is more robust in that it has a volume, analog inputs, likely better software, and USB and SPDIF. It also has some audiophile name recognition and cost a lot more money (which makes some happy).

Not sure if it has a remote.
