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?

Mcbuddah...Any news about the m2 600 monos?
I use an Audio Research vt 100 mk2 amp which I like a lot,
but wouldn´t mind more power.
I read about tube guys who went class-D with satisfaction.
Thanks for any input.

Very interesting, Jorge!
Thanks for posting. What amp (s) did you use before the M3 1200S?
Can you compare them to the D-Sonic? I'm using a ARC VT 100 mk2 right now. I love the amp but 16 tubes can be a PITA. I'm going to try D-Sonic so I appreciate your info a lot. Cheers, Mikko

Jorge: thanks again! I'm very curious now. I will try them out next year.
I have a Coincident Statement Line Stage. It's amazing! World Class.
I strongly recommend it! Cheers Mikko

Mcbuddah, thanks for posting. Very interesting. You have put a lot of effort in to this. I will try D- Sonic monos in May next year when I'm back from a long holiday in Asia. When you talk about Poeima 2, you mean Ridge Street Audio Poeima 2, right? If so, I use Poeima 3 ( speaker and XLR IC ). I'm in Sweden but it's a small world. Please, let us know more about your impressions about the amps. I understand you like them because you have put so much energy and made so many changes into your system.
I will share my findings about these amps, but it's a long time from now.
Cheers,
Mikko

Mcbuddah, I can't find info on the Sonoma Plateau IC you are using.
How much are they? Other IC you tried besides the Sonoma Plateaus?
