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?

With over 500 hours of burn-in, my new D-Sonic M3-3800 amplifier is performing at a very high level. Its power is only superseded by its grace with both movies and two channel audio. I'm extremely pleased with its acquisition and expect it to remain in my rack for a long time.

So my new M3 5 channel amp configured as 1000/1000/600/600/600 watts arrived last week. Even with very few hours it easily bests each amp in a long line of succession in my rack in every conceivable metric... truly a stunning piece.

The amp was initially placed in an isolation cabinet well away from power supplies and other RF/EMI nasties.

At around 200 hours I upgraded the power cord to a Signal Cable Silver Resolution Reference cable with 20 amp Furutech female termination.

A short while later I put four large Isolate It! sorborthane feet beneath the amp.

Both upgrades clearly made a positive improvement to the amp's slready excellent SQ.
