Is D-Sonics audio still in business


I was wondering if d-sonics audio is still in business, as I was looking to get my son some inexpensive class D amps for his new home and was looking into d-sonic amps but I cannot find their website, as it keeps coming up as unavailable.

Are there any other high powered class D amps for a reasonable price and good reliability out there, I am not to familiar with that class of amps.

@yyzsantabarbara not all GaN amplifiers are Class D. Take a look at the Gold Note PA-10  I have two operating in Bridged mode with an SPL Phonitor 2 as a preamp and they are spectacular.  

I also agree that the Bel Canto products are well built and sound great.

The PA-10 features quite an interesting design. It is not a Class D amplifier but it leverages a new technology that uses MOSFETs for the output stage, in common with the Class D, featuring an output oscillator (GaN Mosfets with Gallium Nitride), a proprietary design that actually doubles the power of the amplifier when reducing the impedance – exactly as a pure Class A but with extremely high efficiency to deliver great amounts of energy.” So there you have it.

What may surprise you is despite its great power for such a small box, it's not a Class D amplifier.  

"It's actually an A/B amplifier, but it uses a switching mode digital power supply, which allows it to get more power in a smaller chassis,"
