Class D amps vary in sound due to the fact that some have higher scan frequencies than others, some have more 'dead time' than others, some have more distortion in the input circuit than others, some have cheesy power supplies and some don't, some have feedback and others don't!
Class D Technology
So I get the obvious strengths of Class D. Efficiency, power output & running cool which allows for small form factors. I also understand the weaknesses somewhat. 1. Non-linear & lots of distortion that needs to be cleaned up with an output filter.
So my question is, if it weren't for efficiency & power, would there be any reason to own a Class D amp? Do they beat Class A in any other categories that count for sound quality?
