Class D Technology

Just demoed the Digital Amplifier Company (DAC) Stereo Maraschino (STM) feeding 100db Charney Audio Maestro horns for the last month. Detailed nuances, great tone, deep and wide soundstage, with spot on imaging to boot. In many ways it bested my 300b integrated that is 4x the cost. I have listened to a few class d amps in the past (Bel Canto, CIA, TBI,Crown XLS, ClassD, and a couple 3XXX designs) the DAC STM is hands down the best of that bunch. I had about given up on class d when I contacted Tommy at DAC and he sent me his demo STM to use for a month.
The DAC STM is a special little amp that delivers delicate highs with serious ball when needed. I will be purchasing a pair of mono's in the near future and the soon to be released digital preamp.

 

I haven't auditioned all the better class D amps out there. Just wondered if Rogue's version of class D is competitive with those better class D amps?

PS Audio has a home try out program. You can try out M700's and if you decide you don't like them they pay shipping both ways at no cost. On a PSA forum one person tried out a S300 amp. He returned it before it was burned in. PSA did their own burn-in and sent it back for another trial. He kept it and loves it. I just take a chance for a 33% discount from Steve at HighPerformanceStereo. No disappointments here. 

The Stereophile reviewer liked the PSA M700 amps so much that he bought the amps and is now on the PSA forums to add to his initial review. https://www.stereophile.com/content/ps-audio-stellar-m700-monoblock-power-amplifier
