D-SONIC SOA Class-D Core Amps. The best Class-D ?

Thank you for the link Guidocorona, It looks promising. I look forward to reading more from McBuddah on his findings in the near future. How about you Guidocorona, is there a way for you to tests these?

Hi Luigy, my review projects are done in sequence, and take quite long.... Usually a few months each. I have a couple of amps and a couple of wire looms in my inbasket already . But at some point it would be interesting doing a DSonic amp... Will it be a Pascal-based or an AbleTech-based device?

Saluti, Guido

Assuming different modules used, like ABletec or Pascal or Icepower, make a difference in the sound, which I would expect to be a reasonable assumption, it bothers me that D-Sonic is not more forthcoming about what goes into what models that they sell.

If it were the case that D-Sonic had an identifiable "house sound" that they always target, it would matter less to me, but I would still want to know what is the same and what is different technically.

I can see where this policy would make it harder for someone to do a meaningful review of value.

My guess is D-sonic is marketing on price/vale mainly and in fact may do quite well as a result.

SOme more user reviews would be nice. User reviews where user opens up the box and identifies what is inside specifically even more so.

Yea, I guess what I am trying to say about the Triangles is that they are very fast, transparent and neutral sounding and do what they do extremely well. They would certainly allow the inherent sound of the vintage Marantz to shine through. What they (small Titus model specifically) will not do, is much below 50hz or so. A very nice match to any 20 watt SS receiver. I have a spare yamaha 20 watt receiver that I have used them with and gotten very good results. I think the somewhat warmer sounding Marantz would be even better.

Hi Mapman, you point out the potential problem exactly... While I evaluate the audible performance of a device purely on the merits of, well... Its audible performance, there are a number of components to any of my published scribblings.... And one of the components is an -- as musch as possible thorough -- ddescription of internals, based on my own informal transcription of my recorded discussion of published/publishable technical features, that I have had with the primary source... Usually this being the designer or the manufacturer.

I disregard completely any third party information that I am not able to confirm/corroborate from an open and willing primary source... Hence, third party reports of internal features are cheerily ignored... Nor do I go spelunking inside a component without written authorization by the manufacturer.

In general, doing a review of a mystery box is something that would leave me a little disconcerted. G.
