Digital Amp's

Hi All,
I was wondering what everyone thinks of the newer Digital Amps that are becoming more common. I think these Amps are known as Class D amps. Belcanto is one company that seems to be pushing this line, but most seem to be coming from the giants like yamaha and panasonic.

What are the pros and cons of these AMP's over your everyday Class A/AB amp?
Any recommendations or condemnations for digital amps?

Thanks in Advance

Faziod, There are people, including I, who have heard the H2O, and very fine
Class A amps, on the same system. None preferred the Class A. BTW, No H2O
has gone to anyone for a mod, other than the builder.

I wonder about zero feedback amps. Haven't heard any. has anyone? How would you characterize their sound vs. the new digital amps?

My Pass had zero feedback. These days, zero feedback is not an unusual thing. In fact, there are "digital" amps that employ zero feedback.

Woodburger- Muralman1 is correct,the Tact M/S 2150 have no negative feedback.

Muralman1- did you get a chance to check on those parts?

Muralman1, since I have seemed to ruffle some feathers I have only heard in my system the 2 class D amps I mention above in my post. Of those 2 class D amps I auditioned, my class A amps have a wider soundstage, better front to back imaging and deeper bass. As I also mention in my initial post the 2 class D amps are excellent amps but I happen to like my class A amps better.
