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

6550 - The problem here is that SMPS is small. It is hard to believe that something smaller can be better. It is line and load regulated and basically the same thing as class D amps that win Stereophile class A classification.

It is difficult to change traditional way of thinking (you being example of it) but some great companies (like Linn) used SMPS for class AB amplifiers for a long time. New $48k Rowland class AB amp uses SMPS. As for being better suitable for the car since it is always used there - you can make the same argument for transistors (tubes for home, transistors for cars). I'm pretty sure it was the case at the beginning of transistor amps in audio.

Why not to listen first and learn what is inside later?

Class D refers to the output device, not the power supply. Class D amps can have traditional power supplies or switch-mode power supplies.

Psag,

Class D and SMPS operate on the same principle (PWM). Class D was invented when designers of SMPS showed that response to reference voltage is so fast it can play the music.
