Digital Amp's


Hi All,
I was wondering what everyone thinks of the newer Digital Amps that are becoming more common. I think these Amps are known as Class D amps. Belcanto is one company that seems to be pushing this line, but most seem to be coming from the giants like yamaha and panasonic.

What are the pros and cons of these AMP's over your everyday Class A/AB amp?
Any recommendations or condemnations for digital amps?

Thanks in Advance

I've only heard a couple of them, and not the very lattest versions. I've heard quite a few of the Spectron's in various systems and didn't care for them. Thats not to say that they don't work for others in other systems. I've only heard the TacT's briefly in less than ideal circumstances, but, in that context they may be amongst the top three or so amps I've heard. If I was in the postion to buy anything in their price range, I'd make it my business to give them a serious consideration. It's interesting that Audioengr finds the top end questionable, as this is exactly where I'm uncertain of their ultimate quality. Further listening is required.
Muralman, if I'm not mistaken you seemed to have had the same enthusiam for the eAR amps not too long ago. Things change, new products surpass old ones (sometimes at least). Perhaps you might share your thoughts on the similarities and/or differences between these two digital amps?
