best-sounding class D amp?


I'm not interested in starting another discussion about technology, or performance parameters. (You know who you are.)

I know that there are different brands and designs of modules used in these amps, and different implementations, with additional maker-specific circuitry around the module.

What I *am* interested in hearing about is first-hand listening impressions of the most natural, full-bodied class D amp you've heard, with a preference for those (few?) that hew to the slightly warmer rather than cooler side of neutral.

@noble100 just reminded me of D-Sonic amps (6Moons review).  I confess I’ve not heard them, but reviews indicate they punch way above their weight and have characteristics that please both SS and tube aficionados.  Their M3a-800S stereo amp is good for 400/800Wpc into 8/4Ohms for only $1475 (their cheapest amp I believe) and has me seriously questioning upgrading my McCormack DNA 0.5 Rev A.  I believe they offer an in-home trial, which is obviously really helpful.

I’m also a fan of Bel Canto amps.  I heard a pair of M500 monoblocks driving a pair of Joseph Audio Pulsars and it sounded sublime.  Not sure I’d call them warm but rather just very natural sounding, which very much surprised me.  Changed my impression of Class D amps actually.  FWIW, and best of luck.
