Classdaudio vs Channel Islands amps


I was wondering if anyone has heard any models from both Classdaudio and Channel Island amps. I searched the threads, but I couldn't find a comparison. I want to know how the two brands compare in terms of sound, durability, and build quality. I know that Classdaudio builds their own circuit board while Channel Islands use Hypex. I would appreciate any information.

Audiozen,
I don't understand why Dennis refuses to answer questions about the products he sells. Consumers have a right to know what they're buying. It's not an unreasonable request, but his refusal bothers me. It makes me not want to buy his products because it feels like he's hiding something. Perhaps he doesn't want to give away his technology... I don't know.

As for made in USA, Dennis told me himself that the amps are made in Texas. I hope he wasn't making it up... who knows? There are too many uncertainties with this company and amps. I think I'll just stick to Class D Audio for now.
The amps are not made in Texas. D-Sonic gives the impression that the amps are in house designs which is why he won't answer questions since D-Sonic wants to avoid that the amps are manufactured by Pascal and Abletec. Rich with the Abletec office in New Jersey told me five months ago that Dennis buys Abletec amps for D-Sonic.
Oh good grief. I wish he would have just been honest about it. I don't appreciate the fact that he blatantly lied to me.
I have Abletec modules right now.... but when I'm done, my finished amp will be made in Missouri.... Yes, I purchased the modules from Europe, but I folded, drilled my case, added jacks, connectors and boards, wired and hopefully this weekend will have a finished amp made in Missouri.
I won't say that overall, I'll call it a DIY Abletec amp, but its all how you look at it. All assembly other than the amp modules were most likely done in Texas. I'm sure that is where Dennis is coming from.
All, a sourcing clarification is in order... I just spoke to Dennis at D-Sonic:

* D-Sonic power amplifiers are manufactured/assembled near Houston (TX), USA.

* Some of the power conversion modules (or amplification modules) employed in D-Sonic amps may be physically manufactured in China.

As such, any information implying that D-Sonic purchases fully assembled amplifiers from China is incorrect. Only some component parts may originate in China.
