Could Class D really be that good?
This is not a discovery. Those that have listened, have known this since audio reproduction and measureing equipment were invented. Most things that make a sonic difference cannot be measured.......plain and simple. Why would I care to convince so... 
Could Class D really be that good?
I knew you could not leave it alone.....you had to have the last statement....so, i will not comment and let the readers here decide for themselves who has truth and who is blowing smoke. If you want to know something about anything.....then do s... 
Could Class D really be that good?
grk, Thanks for that link.  Probably? using the Orchard GaN modules after the tube in the smaller amp.  $3600-$4000 is a nice price range.  You can get a tube front end on the high powered Purifi from VTV for about $3000.  Lots of cool stuff out ... 
Could Class D really be that good?
Wow, that is the best you can do.  You just stated above that any modern op amp has no sound (will not change the sound).  No sound is most peoples definition of "perfect"...or perfectly transparent......Again.....the people who listen do not agre... 
Could Class D really be that good?
Wow, you just stated that all modern op amps are perfect. Yes, you did not state that all opamps made since the beginning of time were perfect (yes, I did not quote you correctly). What you stated before was just what you said: "all modern opamps"...

The statement from Greg just shows his ignorance. Of course, you do not need to have matched fets at the input of your class D amp.....you can just use inferior sounding integrated circuit ICs.....he he. He does not listen to parts and execution i... 
Could Class D really be that good?
Class D amps have been getting better and better.  You have the "all you need is more feedback to lower the distortion" people....Bruno, for instance....and you have the "all you need is a certain kind of distortion" people ......Ralph, for instan... 
Could Class D really be that good?
Ralph, It took you two days to reply and that is all you can come up with? You will say anything just to make me look bad so you can feel you are right.....wow! The two statements are not contradictory......I said "if it changes the measuremets".... 
Could Class D really be that good?
I don't think you are subborn.  You are just checking out all possibilities.  However, ASR themselves say that super low distortion is not required for "perfect sound"  Only a certain measurement of SINAD is needed.  They like lower measurments bu... 
Could Class D really be that good?
Boy you just keep sawing on that limb.......you cannot say anything but the same thing over and over and you know you are wrong and cannot prove otherwise. You alone hold your opinion. I have been around since 1975 and in the industry since then. ... 
Could Class D really be that good?
Sorry, wrong.  You have no idea what is producing those different numbers.  You just want to believe in something.  Those Wima Polyester caps that they use (both Fosi and Ayima now use the in all their latest gear) are crap.  I replace them with m... 
Could Class D really be that good?
Yes, some will laugh at their own folly.  I would llike to see you prove this statement: "You certainly can measure a change in distortion when passive parts are replaced!"  Show us the beef!  Where are your graphs?  Show us the volumes of stateme...

I first heard about the 1656 from a description of the LSA Discovery Warp 1 amp. I bought some and put them in place of the 1612s in the Purifi factory input board. Did not like them, not as musical as 1612. You might love them....but trust only y... 
Could Class D really be that good?
Did you not read what I said?  I said the amps will all measure the same.....this is absolutely true.  While it is true that when changing parts the distortion changes....because all noise and veils are distortion.  However, you CANNOT measure a c... 
Could Class D really be that good?
All op amps have an intrinsic sound.....and how you know this is to listen. There is no monolythic integrated circuit IC (that I know of) that sounds as good as a really great discrete circuit. This is from testing (and designing and making my own...
