Class D is the devil of audiophilia. It sounds flat and boring.
No wonder class D amps have what is called ICE modules; the sound they produce is cold and lifeless.
Class D sucks!

Class D has come a long way since it was invented and is now used by quite a few hi-end manufactures, (PS Audio, Emotiva etc.) and while it still cannot match the very TOTL products, it soon will. (Remember Class A and class AB amplifiers sucked when they were first introduced, but then developed into top notch amplification systems)

Class T is still switch-mode, just a trademarked version by Tripath.
We still need to meet up, by the way. I can't seem to send you a PM, but maybe you could contact me via my website.

I know few friends who sold their Accuphase & Macs and are happy with Class D amps now.Considering all aspects my Hypex&Purifi Class D amps are within the best amps i have owned if i am honest.Not a big fan of Ice amps too.Good times for great hifi these days and Class D contributes and will more in future without doubt.
