My main listening setup uses a Rogue Sphinx Class D, mostly because I prefer Magnepans and need the juice, but also because I think the differences in quality amps are getting to be vanishingly small. Now, I also keep two casual listening systems that are Class A driving more efficient speakers. And here’s the thing: my diy First Watt M2 from diyAudio Store comes with five different input stages that are swappable and guess what? They sound different. So different implementation on the input stage, different sound from the same power stage. Go with your ears and don’t look back.
Has anyone switched from Class AB/A to Class D? Was it better? Was it worse?
I heard a class D amp the other day (Lyngdorf) and it sounded really good. I liked the minimalism of it also. But, I need to own a amp for a couple of months to really know if I like it or not. I don't like room correction ether, so I just liked the sound without that.
Curious, has anyone ever switched from a class AB or class A amp to a class D amp? If so, did you regret it? Was it a downgrade in sound? Or was it upgrade in sound?
