D-SONIC SOA Class-D Core Amps. The best Class-D ?

"Interesting to note that even with the sound quality of Class D amplifier circuits continuing to improve, Rowland still chooses to design their best reference grade power amps using their very advanced switched mode power supplies with Class A/B output stages."

Probably a smart move. Not all high end audio guys are willing to accept or care for Class D amps. Class A/B amps of course can also sound good and physically more imposing as well. They also will probably have to cost a lot as well to match Class D performance being lower efficiency. Does that mean they are better? I suppose it depends. Dunno.

Mcbuddah...Any news about the m2 600 monos?
I use an Audio Research vt 100 mk2 amp which I like a lot,
but wouldn´t mind more power.
I read about tube guys who went class-D with satisfaction.
Thanks for any input.

How are you going with your D-sonic? still happy, any impressions?

All the best

Just wanted to share my impressions with all of you.
I finally jumped on the bandwagon and got a pair of D-Sonic M2-1500M monoblocks.

The thing is, I put together this new system just for stereo, so I cannot compare the changes that the amps would have made to any previous chain. The system currently consists of: Oppo BDP-105 + Marc Audio XLR Premium interconnects + Two D-Sonic M2-1500M + GLS Audio speaker cable (12AWG) banana finish + Dynaudio Contour S5.4 speakers.

I am very pleased with the sound of the system, although the room might be tricky because it is roughly 7x5 meters, with a semi-wall in the middle (a 2.5 wall along the 5 meter axis). Very good bass response, no need for subwoofer, very detailed, good transients. I think it is not as forgiving with bad recorded music. Just about 30 hours of use, though.

Feel free to submit your comments and/or questions.

Cheers,
Carlos

Thank you, Carlos. I am still about a year away from pulling the trigger on a new amp, but with D-Sonic's restocking fees, I am looking for any impressions by owners I can find. Please keep us posted as the amps break in. When you say they are not too forgiving of bad source material, does that mean you find them very detailed, which would be a positive, or do you mean they are on the bright side of neutral, which would combine with bright, edgy recordings to produce unpleasant results?
