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

ACOUSTIC IMAGERY ATSAH NC500 Monoblock Amplifiers

The ATASH power amplifier is a Class D design and is based on NCore® technology from Hypex. NCore® is the name given to the first significant step up in power amplifier performance in a decade. https://www.hypex.nl/p/technology/ncore


Building on the strong heritage of the UcD design of Class D amplifiers, NCore® takes the things UcD does well and does them ten times better.

Coupled with a dedicated switch mode power supply made specifically to work with the Class D design, this amplifier not only nudges at the performance of the best linear amplifiers, but surpasses them in every aspect of sound quality.

I went to the tube side but these amps beat out any class A amp I have heard or owned regardless of price.
