Class D is just Dandy!

I thought it was time we had a pro- Class D thread. There's plenty of threads about comparisons, or detractors of Class D.

That's fine, you don't have to like Class D amps, and if you don't please go participate on one of those threads.

For those of us who are very happy and excited about having musical, capable amps that we can afford to keep on 24/7 and don't require large spaces to put them in, this thread is for you.

Please share your experiences with class D amps!

Thinking of buying the d3020 for my daughter's room and pairing with a pair of epos els3.
Sources would be a tt as I see the v2 now has a mm phono input and a PS3 via toslink.

Do you have the v2?

I do not. I have the v1 which has a USB input instead. 

Best,

Well I bought a NAD D3020V2 and have to say pretty darn impressed for the money.

Great features include a built in MM phono stage, an additional analog input,a toslink input and a spdif input. Another nice touch is a subwoofer output. Add all that to its tiny form factor, if you cannot find room for this then there is something wrong!

Sure 30wpc is not going to rattle the roof beams but paired with Epos ELS3 speakers it plays louder than I need it to.
Oh headphone output as well so very hard to criticize for a bedroom unit or third system which is where it now resides.

$300 shipped as a factory NAD refurbished unit with full warranty.

So, with all of this Class D talk, where to the new ATI 52X and 54X rate in the scheme of sound quality?  How do they compare to the D-Sonic and their Pascal modules?
