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?

Reading the documentation at Pascal website, I can only find example applications of inboard amplifiers for pro audio loudspeakers.

Assuming that the D-Sonic amp is using this module, what do you think of using this amp for home (audiophile) audio?

I hope you can share your thoughts.
Pro audio would seem like a very practical application for class d amps. Efficiency is usually paramount there.

If it works well and sounds good, then that js the main requirement for home audio. The proof or not would be in the listening.
Also, there's more to a Class D amp than just the power module. There are input stages, power supplies, yadda, yadda. The proof is in the hearing. That 6 Moons review was pretty impressive and thorough, IMHO.
As I recently indicated in another thread, Jeff Rowland has
jumped on the Pascal band wagon with two new Class D products that will be released in several weeks. Brandon Kelley at Rowland recently confirmed to me that Pascal is used in the new Continuum S2 Integrated at $9500.00 and the
new 525 class D stereo amp at $4500.00 which can also be ordered as a pair of mono's for $9000.00. With the mods that Jeff has added to the Pascal amps, results in a better
performing product than the ICE amps that Rowland has used in the past. These products can be viewed in the new 2013 Rowland Catalog which can be downloaded from their site.
I'd be curious to know what "mods" Roland and others do with Pascal amps. With Icepower, the "mods" make all the difference. I would expect newer generation Class D modules to be much better out of the box to start, at least on paper.
