Which Class D Amplifier? PS Audio, Ghent, Nord, Merrill or other???
Tim,The input stage on an amp is not an output stage.  Output stages have to drive a speaker, so you would not want current limiting.  The input stage is just an op amp.  Most integrated circuit op amps cannot drive over 100ma.  They are using a d...

Most reviews are worthless, unless they have mucho comparisons of the latest same money gear and show the gear being used. We are all in the dark. We are kept ignorant unless we A/B in our homes. Let’s say you wanted to spend $20,000 on an amp. So...

How can we know how it compares if the "review" has no comparisons?....no mention of what amp he replaced or what other amps he has heard in his system. All we know is that his sound has improved. Maybe a $2000 amp from another company would also ... 
Merrill Audio Element 116 Review
So, what amp did they replace and what other amps have you heard in your system? 
GaN-based Class D power amps
Actually, the first "digital amp" was the TACT. They do not have an DAC in it. They convert the PCM signal directly to PWM. There is no analog signal ever inside a TACT (except that which is generated via PWM and outputted via the speaker outs). I...
