D-Sonic vs Wyred vs ....

Better buy the amps now then while they are still relative unknowns and before the maker himself even realizes the full potential and raises the prices accordingly. :-)

On a serious note, even older Icepower modules deliver topnotch results when implemented well. Rowland and Bel Canto have demonstrated that to-date. Wyred also though perhaps to a lesser degree.

Consider also that Class D technology has not peaked or plateaued yet in terms of its potential. The precision and accuracy of the technology continues to increase. Abletec and or Pascal might be two the the better recent examples that have not gained large home audio market penetration yet. But the trend will continue and the results possible at any particular price point should only continue to improve, so like with computers, the longer one waits before making the investment, possibly the better, but there are very viable and top notch performers on teh current grand scale of things readily available now if desired. Plus Class D amp technology still has the most untapped potential of any amp technology out there at present IMHO.

Thank you McBuddah, very useful observations!

I thought it a good idea to link here to the 6moon review of the D-Sonic M2-1500M:

Unless I am missing something the article does not mention whether the amp uses a Pascal module or an Abletech.

Best, G.

D-Sonic appears to have a new M3 series of amplifiers, as most devices are now called M3-xxxx. There is no description of the differences from the previous series, nor there is mention of what power conversion modules they utilize -- Pascal, Abletech, or otherwise. See:

D-Sonic is a very secretive/murky product. Not much you can bank on other than price. Maybe that's enough?

I wonder how much sound difference/variability from unit to unit, series to series. No way to know really. That's a negative unfortunately.

Six Moon reviews are fun and interesting sometimes, but one review on such a big unknown as d-sonic can carry only so much water.

I suppose the strategy is "try it, you'll like it", which is fine.

Question for D-Sonic owners: once you buy, will D-Sonic answer tech questions about what you bought?

The M3 series has been out for quite sometime. I already mentioned in a previous
thread I initiated months back on D-Sonic that Dennis mentioned to me during one of several phone conversations that his M3-1500M amp is a Pascal, and his M3-600M amp is Abletec. He would not divulge any further info on his other mono or two channel models but did state that all of his multi-channel amps are B&O Ice.
