Well I’m afraid to say you’re behind the times when it comes to the current state of ultra high end audio. Today’s best class D outperforms every other type of amps available. A few years ago I came up with the now widely used concept of using rollable class A discrete opamps to voice the input stage of class D amps to personal taste. This resulted in 1000’s of old school audiophiles dumping class A and tubes for amps such as the Nord one up.
But now with advanced DSP integrated into SOTA digital input class D amps, there’s far far more flexibility to voice to taste. Regardless of your personal taste in sound, the next generation of digital input class D amps can be voiced in the digital domain to your exact taste, and room acoustics. You can stop wasting money on cables, preamps, tube buffers etc to voice your gear. The amp can do it all. And far better. And if you get board of the sound, just change the profile rather than dump at a big loss and replace with something different.
