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

Owner/Designer Dean Deacon of D-Sonic in Houston in recent months dropped using the B&O ICE amps which he now only uses in the surround channels of his multi-channel home theater amps. He now uses a new Class-D amp in all of his Magnum2 mono and two channel amps which he states is the most technically advanced Class-D amp on the market, called the SOA Class-D core amps. The recent review in 6Moons of his new M2-1500M amp concludes its the closest that Class-D has ever come to tube amps in the upper mid-range and high frequencies.
Anyone bought or heard recently the D-Sonic M2-1500M or the M2-600M? What are your opinions?

Henry, I have tried Guido's link using Chrome and it fails with the error: "Oops! Google Chrome could not connect to www.iceh2oaudio.com". I suspect that you may be accessing a page in your cache and that's why some of the other links don't work. I think you need to address this with your hosting provider as there is obviously something wrong!

Guys,
This is actually not funny. Not one person has come forward regarding their "personal" experience with D-sonic. Then there is the talk how good a preamp "is". And now IT support for H2O.
A thread gone bad!

Hi Deadlyvj, my personal apologies for the unwitting contributions to the temporary derailment of the thread. One of the problems is that, Abletec modules being only recently introduced in component design pipelines, not too many major designers of switch mode amplifiers have introduced products based on these power conversion modules. As the initial batch of Abletec-based amplifiers reach consumers, and more manufacturers adopt these power conversion modules, I am hopeful that we will start to see real findings, hopefully on this thread.

Deadlyvj..my intent starting this thread, was to engage those who may have experienced D-Sonic, with the emphasis as Guido points out, on the Abletec amp modules, which are just now being recognized as an alternative to B&O and Hypex. So far, it appears at the moment not very many have experienced D-Sonic and Abletec, since I was hoping to get a much greater response. Now that the holiday and CES is over, I hope this thread will increase reply activity on Abletec, and if this thread winds up becoming a "Class-D Cafe", thats a good thing to...

If they gain traction, I'm sure well hear about them in due time.

I suspect they should/will.
