Class D is just Dandy!

Well said, as I've also stated, even I will ditch my boat anchors when the technology allows that dreaded switching frequency (Class-D's Achilles heel) to be 2-3 times higher than what it is. Then it will be an amp to contend
with.

Cheers George

Newsflash: class d is already here and contending.....

Just by reading your posts, I am convinced that you are stuck in Class A/B la la land. Since you're struck there that can only mean one thing: not being firmly in the present.

Through either anxiously living in an anticipated future or stuck in the habitual past, we cut ourselves off from the inspiration and creativity that exists when we are fully present.

The following five steps may help you clear away the mental cobwebs, swiftly returning you back to the creative flow where you belong.

1. Hit the Shower
2. Seek out Sweat Sessions
3. Change the Channel
4. Change the Environment 
5. Still stuck, seek professional help. 

Class D is here and contending head and shoulders with Class A/B. 

Amen........

I cannot hear the difference between my class D amps and Parasound A23s. Zero. None. Therefore, small, lower stand-by power wins.

But there are interesting hybrids. NuForce is basically class D voltage rails + Class A linear amp. Yamaha’s EEEngine technology is similar.

Both could be considered derivative of the NAD/Carver voltage tracking power supplies.

Best,
