Denon's Gone Class D

[Seth=L]

Denon has finally released a product that uses a derivative of Class D amplification. They have a series of products, receiver, SACD/CD player, as well as combination unit that offers both the SACD/CD player and receiver in the same chassis. If you want to go the extra mile and get their compact monitors to match the components, but get ready for for a dent in the pocket. These micro sized components don't come at mass market prices.

I actually think it looks nice. Clean and simple. The real question is, how does it sound?

 

[Seth=L]

Hopefully neutral, especially considering it took them so long to come out with something that uses Class D.

The new Pioneers are class D as well

Not their stereo offerings that I've seen. I've looked into those. The higher end AVRs offer ICE power Class D configurations.

Does anyone else think this is one step closer for them to claim that they have products that are "green"? I see that NAD has some CD drives out now that are "green" and consume less than 1W of power while in standby mode.

I was talking about their latest AVRs, not their stereo offerings. I didn't clarify that point. Thanks for clariftying that for me.

I heard the SX A9 at a mini ces, with a pair of MA PL100 and was very impressed with both. FWIW look for a new ice powered amp from the elite line comming up
