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.
@shkong78 looking forward to your input re Starkrimson, and Starkrimson vs Atmasphere (expecting Ralph's to sound better given price differential).
@orchardaudio are you considering a PCM digital-in amp along the lines of Peachtree GAN1? This looks appealing for multiway active speakers |
@lewinskih01 I have that, see here: https://orchardaudio.com/product/starkrimson_streamer_ultra/ |
@lewinskih01, you are correct its a compeltely different concept but the functionality of both is the same. |
@orchardaudio If you ask me your amp has the greater functionality... |
