Class "D" amp? I do not have a clue. Do you?


I have been a serious audiophile for 30 years and class "D" audio is new to me. Most important, what do they sound like?

Class D amps also generate lots of RF. At least they used to. That may have changed.
My experience mirrors that of Mrkoven. I have the ST500 and it's not quite tubes, but it also does not have the brittle crystaline quality of many transistor amps. I find the amp entertaining to listen to for hours without aural fatigue.
Hi Orpheus10. I have a Cary A306, not well known, but Class D. For me it's a keeper. Use to own the Wyred 4 Sound ST 1000 which is also quality.
excessive DC offset can burn up some crossovers and/or built in amps. For a more technical explanation, contact Richard Vandersteen. Switching amps are verbotten on Vandersteen products. There are others out there that can be affected. Contact your speaker manufacturer to discuss their product's vulnerability to this problem.
