I just received a classdaudio SDS-470C UPG
listened to it all day with diferent preamps, diferent speakers, connected directly to dac.
My First impression was tigh bass and not aggressive hiighs.
it sounded good, clean and airy
After a long Session and tests, i switched to my (main)vintage amp 44 years old(not restored), and I INSTANTLY understood that class d sounds extremely good BUT ITS UNABLE TO PRODUCE MUSIC!
this amp is no different for all the crap audio gear that is made today! which is analitycal, extremly detailed , tight here smooth there, measure extremely well, BUT THEY ARE UNABLE TO PRODUCE WHAT THEY ARE MEANING FOR!!!!!!!!! MUSIC!
ps:to manufacturers GO TO HELL with your cheap and expensive crap gear!
dont’ buy classdaudio you have been warned!
classdaudio is just stupid hype! When i emailed "TOM" ( who made it) saying that his amp was total crap he anwered me:
"Very strange… we have thousands of these running all over the world with nothing but fantastic reviews. We have customers that have sold $50,000.00 amps and switched to ours after hearing them. Our amps were voted one of the best products of the year. We have been chosen as the best class d amps. Are you sure you have it connected correctly? We have been making these for 9 years and everyone loves them."
come on!!!! he didn’t ask if it were a problem with the amp or so.....JUST STUPID HYPE! DON’T BUY ITS PURE SH*T
maybe chinese make Something better for 10x cheaper....
