I believe if you check the forums, you might find some info on this. Its been discussed a few times.
Riley is correct about there being many forums about class d amplification, both positive and negative. I have been using class d for about five years. I have upgraded three time using the latest that Bel Canto offered. I can't tell you which brand to purchase. If you do put one in your system please give it a chance to break in. The Bel Canto REF500m I have now is still improving after eight months use.
Over the years I have owned many tube and solid state amps.
I took the plunge and glad I did.
Just purchased the Wyred 4 Sound STI500 after being very satisfied with their DAC1 and now DAC2. It hasn't fully broken in yet, but so far I am very impressed. I have Magnepan 1.7s and the STI500 has plenty of power with a very smooth sound. As it is breaking in, I am hearing more details.

Don't know about the Bel Canto. I purchased the Wyred 4 Sound STI500 based on quality materials in the construction, great reviews and terrific success with their DAC. It seemed to hit the sweetspot in price vs. performance.

The unit is very easy to use and very flexible. Highly recommended but give it PLENTY of time to break in - 200 hours, at least. When you do, you will love the sound with the Magnepan loudspeakers.
