| Class D is just Dandy! @bluesy41 - since you haven’t heard all Class D amps I wonder how you can make a blanket statement. If your $12K Class D amp was the Esoteric I-03 and you didn’t think it was musical then I wonder what “musical” is? I own the Esoteric I-03 and the... | |
| Anyone tried a Mark Levinson 585 integrated amp with Focal Sopra No. 1s or Sopra No. 2s The new to me Mark Levinson 585 Integrated Amplifier arrived today triple boxed and in great condition. On first listen it sounds wonderful! To be honest when I first started listening it sounded similar to the Esoteric I-03, which is a Class D de... | |
| Anyone tried a Mark Levinson 585 integrated amp with Focal Sopra No. 1s or Sopra No. 2s @uberwaltz - I made an offer on the Esoteric and had also made an offer on the 585 the previous day, which I was sure would be declined. It wasn’t so now I have to make a decision regarding which one to keep. Can’t afford to keep both!Also, I have... | |

| PS Audio CD Memory Transport?? Yes Or NO I too own the Directstream Memory player and also the Directstream DAC. All I can say is sell a kidney and get the combination. PM me to see how you can get both units at a very good discount | |

| Class D is just Dandy! @uberwaltzi used the Classe for all my video sources and my DAC. It worked very well. If I wouldn’t have tried the Esoteric I could have lived with the Classe for a long time. I didn’t use the internal DAC or streaming capability though. | |

| Class D is just Dandy! "I don't know why people have to defend or overly praise Class D compared to other amplifier topologies when the end result is if you like it then keep listening. - @sfseayThose defenses, explainations, and informed opinions are what helped motiva... | |
| Class D is just Dandy! I have had Class D amps from Classe (Sigma 2200i), Auralic (Merak Mono Blocks), PS Audio (HCA-2) and currently use a Lyngdorf TDAI-2170. The Lyngdorf and Classe amplifiers were designed in-house and didn't use off the shelf modules. Don't know i... | |
