Which Class D Amplifier? PS Audio, Ghent, Nord, Merrill or other???

I’m looking for a new amp & want Class D.

I’ve seen various brands mentioned, such as PS Audio, Ghent, Nord, Merrel to name a few, but I’ve not heard any of them.

Which company is producing the best sounding Class D?
Which models should I be looking to demo?


Thanks

I have owned/heard Hypex NC400, TI 3116/3118, ST TDA7498.

I know NC400 is highly rated. However, I prefer my Tripath TA2022 and TK2050 Topping amps to it. 

Tripath doesn’t measure like others but who cares. I like what I hear. That’s why I have ears for this hobby:) Fast, slow, distortion, this, that. I don’t care. 

As long as my system gives me the feeling of being there, I am good. So far Pass Labs Aleph 3 did that the best. Second Tripath.
