High end Class D amps?
After probably at least a year of driving my EVS 1200 direct from my LPM moded Oppo 105, and having upgraded all cables and speakers I decided to reinsert my Audio Alchemy DDP- 1 + PS 5. It took a solid 24 hours to relax, and certainly sounds bett... 
High end Class D amps?
Ralph, if GFi is right, that you are close to releasing your class D, I volunteer to compare/comment on it vs my much beloved EVS 1200, dual mono IcePower AS 1200 modules with lots of Rics pixie dust. My speakers are EP 3.4s 12' concentric driver ...

High end Class D amps?
Listen to Ric!  He knows what's up.I had Emerald Physics 100.2SE monos (with custom fuses), which I replaced with PS Audio M700 monos, which sounded quite good, but I couldn't resist that Ric introduced his EVS 1200 dual mono IcePower AS1200 modul... 
DAC recommendations--Auralic Vega vs Audio Alchemy DDP 1---others w/remote volume control?
If your question is to me, the 228 was broken many years ago, and my system has changed many times since then. I was using matched Russian tubes

New WIREWORLD Eclipse 8 series FULL REVIEW
My interconnects and speaker cables are WW series 7 and 8. I was using Eclipse 7 PCs, probably very good at their price point, but my system sounds a lot more natural with other PCs, though I have not tried WW higher range PCs
