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?

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.
Beyond McBuddah, anyone else owning up to owning D-Sonic amps?
Your impressions versus other amps!
Does anybody know the difference between the Abletech and Pascal designs?

My main concern is audio quality, 60% music and 40% movies, TV shows, etc.

I sent Dennis an e-mail regarding the M3-1500's 3 channel Amp and the M3-1200's Stereo Amp as these would be my 2 options, and He responded that all of his amps have the same sound signature and that he doesn't discuss the specific technology used on his amps, fair enough.

Maybe somebody here knows which design would be better for music and what technology is used on each of the amps mentioned above? My speakers are the Gallo 3.5
Well, in lieu of actually hearing the vendor is saying they both will sound pretty much alike, FWIW.

Maybe. Time will tell for sure I suppose. How bad can any of them sound? I suspect they all sound pretty good. Generous return policies/satisfaction guarantees always help, especially when so much is still unknown.
