A DAC that can make digital sound analog?
brettmcee   A DAC that can make digital sound analog? This was an interesting shootout, and the winner, also the most analogue and smooth sounding. Was the oldest one, a Theta DS Pro an old PCM63 R2R based dac.https://www.superbestaudiofriends... 
Tube amplifier suggestion for 101 dB speakers
piramis OP  The speakers are highly efficient here with 101 dB, but also they are 4 Ω in impedance Yes as I said before, and that’s a nominal 4ohm, it will have dips even lower than that.Look for an amp that has a 2ohm speaker tap just in case ... 
How to DIY yourself very nice Class D monoblocks
I’d be more inclined to have a go at these, USA made sold and backed.https://classdaudio.com/amplifier-kits.htmlProper linear power supplies with Toroidal transformers, not noisy switch mode ones.And these are far less costly than the Euro alterna... 
Does my amp have enough juice to power my speakers?
Sorry in my last post, the link I posted could be the wrong one, and this could be the right one of the impedance/phase angle curve of the Audio Physic Step, much harder to drive. https://www.stereophile.com/images/96APS-fig1.jpgCheers George 
Which Class D Amplifier? PS Audio, Ghent, Nord, Merrill or other???
Speaking of directional mains fuses AND THERE IT IS!!! and the bait was very old and smelly.Right on cue, mention one word about SR’s directional AC mains fuses, or HFT’s and the snake oilers sniff it out. 
Which Class D Amplifier? PS Audio, Ghent, Nord, Merrill or other???
What if they are not? Like their directional ac mains fuse, there is only one answer to that. 
Seeking info N.E.W. Nirvana Electronic Works A20
calclassa The A 20 was designed by Nelson who always wanted to design a small Class A amp. BTW: Nelson Pass did design a A20 in 1977 but I don’t believe he had anything whatsoever to do with the N.E.W. A20 or A20.1 it could just be a ripoff clon...

Im about now to try the Synergistic Research HFT (10 Pieces). You had me reading up till then, lucky it was your last sentence and not your first, if it was I would have ignored the rest of your post, I hope directional ac mains fuses aren't next... 
What class of amplifier has the most high definition sound ?
Class D amps take some meat off of the bone. It can come off as crystal clear, defined, and completely quiet between notes (inky black) but to my ears that sound signature is the result of removing a tiny amount of the music from the source. My g... 
What class of amplifier has the most high definition sound ?
I would say it somewhat differently - tubes presenting harmonically correct soundscapes. Only Class-A OTL's, anything with an output transformer is hamstrung.Cheers George  
What class of amplifier has the most high definition sound ?
sacresta OPOk guys, my question was focused in experience and sensitivity to pure sound."Pure Sound"?? Class-A OTL tube wins, with heavy proviso's on what they can drive. After which come Class-A solid state, which can drive most things if good ...

 I will pray for you. Really!!  with how your self shilling on these forums. And now your bringing god and love into it now. You are a piece of work. 
Which Class D Amplifier? PS Audio, Ghent, Nord, Merrill or other???
You are passing judgement on Guido Really! again!! If you bother to read yet again, which you have a problem with it seems comprehending, clearthink was expressing his opinions only, what he said quote: " I personally find". In no way was he tryin... 
What class of amplifier has the most high definition sound ?
analogluvr I would say OTL class A Ditto that.But there aren’t any speakers "THAT I LIKE" yet without any colorations that they can drive with ease (without bandaid fix autoformers), top to bottom, so "TO ME" your ****** if you do and ****** if ... 
Which Class D Amplifier? PS Audio, Ghent, Nord, Merrill or other???
Just please refrain from passing judgement on people who feel otherwise.... You need to get off your horse, I don’t think for one minute guidocorona that clearthink was passing judgement on to you or anyone at all!! He was giving his own personal...
