I have no idea if there is a sound difference caused by any component in a YouTube video. First I would want to know what controls have been implemented. They need to be level matched within .1db or 1% or one will be louder than the other and huma...

What we perceive is all in our head. The only way it makes sense is if the measurements show a difference that is audible otherwise all we are left with is imaginary global floods.https://www.eurekalert.org/pub_releases/2021-01/tud-whw010821.php?f... 
High end Class D amps?
The best measuring class D amp modules at this time are the purifi and Ncore. That's not to say others like ICE or Pascal are not good, most likely they would be indistinguishable in properly designed implementation. As an example  the Dutch and D... 
Stereo Times list of the " 2020 MOST WANTED COMPONENTS"
I didn't see a speaker on that list I would want. 
High end Class D amps?
I have a March Ncore P502. It's a very neutral amp which to me is the best thing you can say about an amp. Never heard an Apollon but they measure very well and inside they look tidy and well laid out.

Did you ever send one to ASR for an independent test of the device?

Let me guess. Veils will be lifted, noise floors will lower, night and day difference, ad nauseam. All these doodads added to the digital chain that either does nothing or what it does is inaudible is reaching the point of absurdity but as long as...

What matters is the analog signal coming out the DAC. These products have been measured and, yes, I'll say it again modern competent designed DACs have no problem dealing with the noise unless it's absolutely ridiculous. The devices do work the th... 
High end Class D amps?
If efficiency is the definition of a perfect amp class D is closer than any other.

Of course class D isn't a linear amp.
