Class D is just Dandy!

Well I bought a NAD D3020V2 and have to say pretty darn impressed for the money.

Great features include a built in MM phono stage, an additional analog input,a toslink input and a spdif input. Another nice touch is a subwoofer output. Add all that to its tiny form factor, if you cannot find room for this then there is something wrong!

Sure 30wpc is not going to rattle the roof beams but paired with Epos ELS3 speakers it plays louder than I need it to.
Oh headphone output as well so very hard to criticize for a bedroom unit or third system which is where it now resides.

$300 shipped as a factory NAD refurbished unit with full warranty.

Thinking of buying the d3020 for my daughter's room and pairing with a pair of epos els3.
Sources would be a tt as I see the v2 now has a mm phono input and a PS3 via toslink.

Do you have the v2?

My Lyngdorf 2170 has replaced a BAT VK600SE.
Am I happy with what I hear?
Heck yes although I believe the room perfect system may have just as much impact on my listening as the amp itself.

Also looking at buying a small Bel Canto integrated for my daughter.

Agreed it might have been better to be able to tailor the eq manually instead of just having the option to change preset curves from neutral.
However so far in my room to my ears I am liking it.
I performed a 12 point calibration initially and now I cannot bear to listen to it without the roomperfect running as i have way too much bass colouration.
Additionally the built in dac suits my needs well, all I would wish for is a little more power but it seems you truly cannot have everything...lol

Just curious how you came to rank the Lyngdorf last?
For my needs the room correction may be a winner.
Thank you

@sfseay.

I am looking at the classe 2200I right now considering a purchase.
How did you find its performance on digital sources? Very interested in your thoughts on this

Welcome to the believers!
I think the Nuforce and now the Nuprime were/are very underrated class D amps and I have absolutely no intention of looking for a replacement for the ht rig anytime soon.
We cannot even get past 50 on the volume without it being literally too  much to bear for long. And that I mean in a good way, not that the sq has degraded but just it is more than our ears and room can handle or need to handle.

Nearly forgot about my second system.
Linn Classik all in one which uses a 70wx2 class d amp and sounds pretty darn good for what it is and I have no desire to replace it with anything

I did try a pair of bel canto ref 500m monos a couple of years ago but for reasons I think mostly associated with the other gear I quickly moved on!

However in my ht rig the move to class d amp was a massive step forward in every way.
Replaced my Emotiva amps with a tiny single nuforce power amp making a claimed 150w x8, only using 7 channels for my 7.1 system.
The emotivas claimed 300w x2 and 250 x5, not quite sure where they were hiding those horses as the nuforce creamed them in every aspect.
dynamics, action, dialogue, sheer volume were vastly increased with the nuforce.
and now I have one tiny little box which has replaced two behemoth amps that were sucking juice and pumping heat.

I will at some stage give a pair of mono class d amps a whirl in my main rig again I am very sure!
