D-SONIC SOA Class-D Core Amps. The best Class-D ?


Owner/Designer Dean Deacon of D-Sonic in Houston in recent months dropped using the B&O ICE amps which he now only uses in the surround channels of his multi-channel home theater amps. He now uses a new Class-D amp in all of his Magnum2 mono and two channel amps which he states is the most technically advanced Class-D amp on the market, called the SOA Class-D core amps. The recent review in 6Moons of his new M2-1500M amp concludes its the closest that Class-D has ever come to tube amps in the upper mid-range and high frequencies.
Anyone bought or heard recently the D-Sonic M2-1500M or the M2-600M? What are your opinions?

I wonder how an amp like the Emotiva XPR-2 with 600 watts into 8ohms would compare sound-wise to this amp? they are completely different animals and the Emotiva looks like a truck with heat and a huge power consumption to go with it, but interesting nonetheless where sound is concerned.
It's been more than a month since this thread suffered a tragic death. I'm very interested in the D-sonic amps and it would be nice to hear back from those who have had these amps for a while now.
Thank you for the link Guidocorona, It looks promising. I look forward to reading more from McBuddah on his findings in the near future. How about you Guidocorona, is there a way for you to tests these?
Does anybody know the difference between the Abletech and Pascal designs?

My main concern is audio quality, 60% music and 40% movies, TV shows, etc.

I sent Dennis an e-mail regarding the M3-1500's 3 channel Amp and the M3-1200's Stereo Amp as these would be my 2 options, and He responded that all of his amps have the same sound signature and that he doesn't discuss the specific technology used on his amps, fair enough.

Maybe somebody here knows which design would be better for music and what technology is used on each of the amps mentioned above? My speakers are the Gallo 3.5
