The Future of Audio Amplification


I have recently paired an Audio Research DS225 Class D amplifier with an Audio Research tube preamplifier (SP8 mkii). I cannot believe how wonderful and lifelike my music sounds. The DS225 replaced an Audio Research SD135 Class AB amplifier. Perhaps the SD135 is just not as good as some of the better quality amps that are out there, but it got me thinking that amazingly wonderful sonance can be achieved with a tubed pre and Class D amp. I have a hunch that as more people experience this combination, it will likely catch on and become the future path of many, if not most audiophile systems. It is interesting that Audio Research has been at the forefront of this development.

My first new amp in decades, bought Rogue Sphinx V1 integrated three years ago. Tube 12au7’s in pre with class D power. I bought unheard but was not disappointed. Rolled NOS Mullards into it. I think it is a good value. Doubles 100 to 200 wpc at 4 ohms. Nice phono for MM carts. Heavy transformer. Quality build.
Have added a Schiit Loki four band equalizer to play with.
Also reccently added Rogue Cronus Magnum, but that’s not a new design.
Laptop chargers, battery chargers, TV's, you name it.
-Which don't draw any more power than the Berning TF-10, FWIW. I had a USB power supply fail on me when I took it on the Grand Divide Mountain Bike Route, but that was likely due to vibration more than anything else- the Tour Divide (as its known) has a way of doing that.
You can mess up any amplifier operating class. The specific implementation is more important.
Class A implies better quality than D or inverse F, but that "class" system is not a value scale.
Class A sets the zero signal in the middle of the operating range, as to avoid the typical non-linearities at the extremes of the device's transfer curve. This was in started in the tube age. Many later semiconductor devices had poor linearity, which was "fixed" with gobs of feedback, and transistor power amplifier output stages almost exclusively have no gain, they just operate as voltage followers/current amplifiers. So linearity biasing is not the goal here, but avoiding ugly transitions when the voltage crosses the zero point. 
There would be more work getting a D amp to perform well, but of course as this thread has shown it is possible. The digitizer must be very good, operating at a high frequency and have good filters for the output. Higher frequencies will be easier to filter out and will have more resolution. 
The bit stream output from a DAC could be used to drive an output stage, perhaps skipping some time middle pieces. Change the power supply voltage and the gain changes. 
Obviously junk in the power supply will end up in your ears.

The Berning TF-10 is a tube preamp with about 10 tubes in it. It draws about 60 watts; that's about the same as my laptop charger.

Panasonic came out with a new formula for electrolytic capacitors some years back that allowed them to be a lot smaller with good performance. Chinese copies of that part proved to be unreliable but due to their price found their way into a lot of consumer gear- laptops, chargers, that sort of thing. So I've become hesitant to blame electrolytics for failures generally speaking, until I know more about the actual part used. If its one of those knock-offs, its going to fail no matter what.
