New Digital Switching Amplifiers


Anyone had the luxury of comparing any of these fine digital switching amplifiers to eachother or to other high end amplifiers such as Pass, Krell etc?

((((Personally I dislike the entire working principle of digital amps
(aka class D,PWM).
First of all the introduction of a convertor into the signal chain
(converts the analog signal into a pulse-width modulated one),
then the fact that the transistors only ever are fully off or fully on
and in the full on only transmit white noise.
That the re-conversion relies on the inertia of the connected drivers.
The high-power fast switching limits choice of transistors to VFets.
Radio interference created by the switching and frequency,harmonic and intermodulation distortions created by the modulator (convertor).)))
I wounder if this is the reason I dont listen nearly as mutch while I have the ARC M-150 in my systum as win I have the VTL MB-175 mono's in. But I swaer the ARC dose everthing better.
