New Class D amplifiers
Hello. I'm very interested in getting your opinion on the newer Class D amplifiers. There has been a couple of very positive reviews (by Guttenberg) of the Bel Canto C6i and NAD M23. These, and perhaps some others are offering new technology that significantly lower the class D noise level and other drawbacks.
I currently use a Class A amp, Pass Labs INT-25 (with Dynaudio Heritage Special speakers) which has a wonderful sound. But I am transitioning to another location, and due to using Roon primarily I find that this system stays on most of the day. Due to heat and power usage of Class A amplifiers, I'm interested in translating to Class D if I find something comparable.
Just came across this new review of the Technics SU-G700M2 from The Absolute Sound on YouTube: It's nice to have this deep dive into the inner workings of this amp. He even goes so far as to say it's a taste of the Ultra High End for a tenth of the price. Not perfect, or everyone's cup of tea, but it's got the goods. All the best, |
Yes, @curtdr , Technics does bristle at the suggestion that their integrateds are Class D but I was just being lazy. 😄 All the best, |
Technics has two wonderful sounding Class D integrateds. The SU-G700M2 (which I have) and the SU0R1000 (the bigger brother). All the best, |
