New Class D amplifiers


Hello. I'm very interested in getting your opinion on the newer Class D amplifiers.  There has been a couple of very positive reviews (by Guttenberg) of the Bel Canto C6i and NAD M23.  These, and perhaps some others are offering new technology that significantly lower the class D noise level and other drawbacks.    

I currently use a Class A amp, Pass Labs INT-25 (with Dynaudio Heritage Special speakers) which has a wonderful sound. But I am transitioning to another location, and due to using Roon primarily I find that this system stays on most of the day.  Due to heat and power usage of Class A amplifiers, I'm interested in translating to Class D if I find something comparable.

Thanks for the quick reply. While the product you linked does indeed have digital input like the GAN1, I believe these are very different concepts. Yours seems to require an internal DAC - effectively a DAC+amp in one box - while the GAN1 is a different concept altogether. 

@lewinskih01, you are correct its a compeltely different concept but the functionality of both is the same.

@orchardaudio If you ask me your amp has the greater functionality...
