Perhaps I should be a bit more clear about the data I've collected over the last 4 years regarding today's class D technology.
Back in 2015, after several months of tweaking an NC-500 based amp, I decided to publicly disclose an input buffer design using discrete class A opamps that are rollable to adapt the amp to personal taste and system synergy. the first to adopt this buffer design was Colin at Nord. Colin went on to sell well over a million dollars worth of amplifiers using this buffer design. Massive resource here on how that went on the most successful thread in Audioshark history:

Currently 5-6 companies world wide are using this buffer design in their commercial NC-500 based amps. And I estimate around 2.5 million USD in combined sales between them all. And close to 100% positive feedback. This is some substantial data collected here!
Next up I went on to selling over 200 Icepower 1200AS amplifiers, and so far the feedback has been the best that I've seen yet from any new amplifier technology.
My next phase is moving into digital input class d technology. And it's by far the most exciting yet!
