D-Sonic vs Wyred vs ....

Get the mAmp (3rd gen ICE modules) vs the SX/ST which use second gen modules

Good question. I am interested to know how they compare also from anyone who has auditioned both.

My bet is on D-Sonic. Their amps are based on new technology class D modules from AbleTech and Pascal.... Some amps use Abletech, while other models use Pascal.

I heard W4S several times at RMAF, including in 2013... Always found the ICEpower-based amps from this brand to yield some ear-strain. It is not easy to get high quality music out of ICEpower. Bel Canto has succeeded in spades... Try find a used pair of Bel Canto REF1000 Mk.2, also called REF1000M. See my PFO scribbling at:

What intrigues me about D-Sonic and the potential of Pascal is what Rowland has recently achieved on the admittedly more expensive Pascal-based Continuum S2 integrated. Within the D-Sonic line.

Yes, I have listened to the Rowland Continuum S2 at RMAF 2013... Marvellous involving sound... I concur with Roy Gregory's findings at:

Thus, while the proverbial devil remains in the details of individual amplifier implementations of any technology, it might be worth while considering Pascal-based amps from D-Sonic and other vendors.

Thanks for the opinions and links!

In regards to Wyred.... I did see they offer I think some of the same stuff in the mAmp on their latest gen stereo and mono amps.

I did read on d-Sonia's site where they state they dropped the ice amps in favor of whatever they use now.... Due to superior sound. I didn't know if that was them blowing smoke or true.... Sounds like it could be a possibility that they are superior.

I do like the idea of having quite a bit more power with a d sonic amp due to my very in effecient old infinity speakers.

I figure if I do not like whatever I buy..... I will throw them on a diy home sub build that I plan on accomplishing. I figure I will use those two extra parasound amps to drive the subs.....
