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?

Yeah, it's a year later, and no more info in this thread? No news?

One comment: To me, it's ridiculous to publish a spec like Rowland does about the frequency response of his amplifiers in the region that only bats can hear and then say it's down 3 dB? Is that supposed to be impressive? What is the frequency range where we can expect the output of his amplifiers to be essentially flat?
The finest and most powerful Class D amp on the planet are the Marten M-Amp mono blocks from Sweden. They weigh 100 lbs a piece and run cool. Costs is $45K a pair. These amps ain't for kiddies. The Marten's use Abletec switching amps

Um, would it be improper to point out that he obviously missed the design goals of Class D topology by the diameter of the solar system? What's the point of a class D amp that has all of the disadvantages of a class A/B design?
"What's the point of a class D amp that has all of the disadvantages of a class A/B design?"

Its newer more efficient technology.

That gets you a lot ways further than prior.

The Martin case just appears to be a high end audio attempt to take it to its limits, which is probably even further beyond what most people are looking for than otherwise.
BREAKING NEWS..Many are aware that during the past two plus years, D-Sonic has been using the ABLETEC ALC-1000 Amp in the D-Sonic M3-600M and the M3-1200S designed by Patrik Bostrom. That amp module has been discontinued and is out of production and replaced by the new ANAVIEW AMS 1000-2600, designed by Patrik Bostrom with ANAVIEW/ABLETEC, and now part of the ETAL GROUP. Recently, Bostrom released the AMS series and his other lines under the ANAVIEW name rather than ABLETEC. ANAVIEW is the first company Bostrom founded. The new AMS 1000-2600 is.. "THE CLASS D AMP TO WATCH OUT FOR." WHY? "AMS"..which means "Adaptive Modulation Servo"..
a revolutionary new loop linearization circuit technology
that was exclusive too, and designed for the worlds finest Class D amp at $45K a pair, The Marten M amp of Sweden designed by Bostrom. For the first time, Bostrom is making available his advanced AMS technology in a line of budget priced class D amps. I hope Dennis Deacon at D-Sonic has picked up on the new AMS series and will use them to replace the Abletec amps.
