Whose got best class D at this point?

I think you may have something about the resolution factor..you tend to listen to the sound and not the music..and I think the high resolution takes some of the mystery and romance out of the sound especially with us tube heads

I have tried the Nuforce 9, the ps audio trio 100 and the sonic super t, and now the trends audio 10.1 with the michael mardis mods and I would have to say that with exception of horsepower these amps sound more the same than different. They are very clean, extremely fast, very efficient, and flat across the frequency band....but as yet they just don't ring my bell like a class tube amp can..I don't why, the emotional involvement is just not the same...what do you think?

I have just switched my Mardis modded Trend amp to battery power and to my ears, this is the best thing I have heard in a while. I just went down to Advance and bought one of those rechargable jumper battery packs for 59 bucks and plugged the amp into it. The difference in sound-staging and impact as well as noise floor reduction is amazing. I have always been a tube guy but this is the best solid state I have ever heard. I have previously owned the nuforce 9, ps audio trio, and the sonic t amp and this far exceeds those IMHO. You just have to try this to believe it...a total investment of 325 dollars for amp and battery. My ic's and speaker cable cost more. Has anybody else tried this yet?

I have had several chip amps including PS Audio, Nuforce, Trends, and just happened onto Channel Island VMB1 on audiogon with idea of a cheap second system. Boy was I surprised. I like it better that any of ones I have had. Go figure, only 40 watts but it sounds great.
