Class A or Class D solid-state amplifiers (modern designs)
Hey guys.
Class A is supposedly superior. Something to do with a conduction angle of 360 degrees...so the entire signal gets processed in one go without crossover distortion.
But in terms of sound quality (subjective enjoyment) is there a benefit to Class A? Can class D provide the same level of enjoyment?
The dealer I’m talking to says that really nice Class A amplifiers are designed for "reference quality" meaning completely true to the real life performance.
Let’s compare and contrast. Which one is technically better?
In other words, could you have equal technical performance and quality in a Class D amp?

This is supposed to be a little bit better than the monoblocks. https://orchardaudio.com/stereo-ultra If you're interested in investigating quality implementations of GaN at lower cost, this is where I would start (rather than the LSA Voyager or the Peachtree Gan 400). |
