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

Owner/Designer Dean Deacon of D-Sonic in Houston in recent months dropped using the B&O ICE amps which he now only uses in the surround channels of his multi-channel home theater amps. He now uses a new Class-D amp in all of his Magnum2 mono and two channel amps which he states is the most technically advanced Class-D amp on the market, called the SOA Class-D core amps. The recent review in 6Moons of his new M2-1500M amp concludes its the closest that Class-D has ever come to tube amps in the upper mid-range and high frequencies.
Anyone bought or heard recently the D-Sonic M2-1500M or the M2-600M? What are your opinions?

Has anyone compared single ended vs. balanced? Does it make a difference with the D-sonic M3 amps?

Thanks,

for me, the balanced mode is far better.

I wonder how an amp like the Emotiva XPR-2 with 600 watts into 8ohms would compare sound-wise to this amp? they are completely different animals and the Emotiva looks like a truck with heat and a huge power consumption to go with it, but interesting nonetheless where sound is concerned.

So my new M3 5 channel amp configured as 1000/1000/600/600/600 watts arrived last week. Even with very few hours it easily bests each amp in a long line of succession in my rack in every conceivable metric... truly a stunning piece.
