The class D amps are not “one” amp but many different amp modules the most powerful would be the Hypex NcoreX modules or the second generation Purifi modules. These are much smaller amps, run cooler and have the better bench measurements than the older Class AB amps...

Have had the Pro+ in my cart since black Friday, but didn't pull the trigger. Probably once I move fully into the house, I will pick one up.

Old thread, I know. The Heaven-11 Billie is into its MK 3 generation, now with options for an internal DAC and phono preamp and without either and a choice of class-D amp, either ICE-Power or Hypex with small power differences, the Hypex slightly more. The units are made in Canada but as others...

You shocked me, like with 50 kV, for even thinking it is the DAC!!!!!!!!! Of all people, I would have though you know what DACs do right?:D By the way, it is a fact that the AV10 use a reference class ESS DAC IC, but not the flagship class that is used in some other AVPs/AVRs such as the...

Outlaw does not market Class D amps, only Class AB.

For bragging right, based on S&V try the 4308, that I had, but gave it away when I upgraded/downgraded: Almost 200 W @0.1% THD+N!! Beat a ton of integrated amps. How did it do it? I guess S&V made a mistake, didn't look like typo though as it was collaborated in the text/narrative...

I think Trachtenberg is trying to appeal to a wider audience. I have seen every Predator movie, and my wife has hated every one of them in the past. But she actually likes Badlands. A little less macho testosterone, a little more female appeal, a little lighter in mood. My favorite Predator...

I second the ATI recommendation. Their class D amps are fantastic.

@PENG Happy holidays to you Sir! You do realize I'm just joking. I'm sure of it, You know me PENG. But yeah Yamaha with them deep pockets they have surely can come up with something better than a Big Android looking volume knob in the middle of their AVR's.

Yamaha should have no trouble designing/building class D amps, they should do it, its time to be the leader. 1000 W is a tall order, I would be happy to see 200 W 8 ohm, 350 W 4 ohm, but 500 W 4 ohm dynamic output, THD+N of 0.01% is good order at the speakers out, but better be no more than...

...one on top of the other and not worry about the amps getting hot enough to fry eggs! If I were starting out now though, I would be in the class D camp. However the downside is a huge part count and modern manufacturing techniques making repair pretty much impossible except by board...

Looks can be deceiving. Those amps are not particularly long lived, because of design problems. Class A/B amps are not inherently longer lived than class D.

You think Denon has a "sound" vs Marantz?

...are not an option and I like separates. They just started carrying T+A Audio Systems which are half-rack sized so easy to fit. They are class D amps which I’ve never used. Always class A or A/B amps and AVRs. Please share if you’ve had any experience with T+A Audio Systems (please no...

...Lower-cost analog amps tend to be more reliable than lower-cost class-D amps. Analog amps can also have more headroom than a similarly rated Class D w SMPS amp." Perhaps his caveat is "low cost" class D amps. Maybe his concern is the power supply. I think those are modular and user...

They did and even the basic ones sounded vey good. The Pro series had cast aluminum frames, rubber surrounds, Polypropylene cones and they were great.

...concentrate on currant rather than just power as a whole which in hindsight is a bit presumtous of the process. Im leaning more towards ati's class d, although like you say cooling on those amps as a whole is quite good, but with the added perks of class d it weighs up favourably especially...

I'd keep waffling and not waste more money!

Im a fan of class D, and Amir and ASR does good work, so I have no reason to believe Buckeye is anything but an amazing value. And I guess I’m technically an Audioholics expert again, so there’s that.

...so frequent that range, it won't stay at constant level so there will be tons of breathing room for the amps, class AB with large PS, and class D amps should have no trouble dealing with such occasional and typically narrow dips. 3. The RS Kappa 9, based on the schematics show a switch, that...
