Classdaudio vs Channel Islands amps


I was wondering if anyone has heard any models from both Classdaudio and Channel Island amps. I searched the threads, but I couldn't find a comparison. I want to know how the two brands compare in terms of sound, durability, and build quality. I know that Classdaudio builds their own circuit board while Channel Islands use Hypex. I would appreciate any information.

Guido..."end-user entry level-power amplifiers?"..what an insult to Patrik Bostrom who recently designed the worlds finest Class D amplifier with Leif Olufsson, the M-Amp of the Marten company in Sweden. If anyone wants to take the time to check out the genius of Patrik Bostrom, go to the Marten home page and click on the PDF download brochure for the M-Amp which goes into extensive technical detail and the brilliant design applications of Bostrom's shear wizardry. An excellent read.
The bottom line is that I don't give a rat's ass if the D-Sonic amps are made in Texas or China. Dennis Deacon is a great person who got way ahead of us recognizing the innovative amps from Pascal and Abletec. He mentioned he has listened to just about every Class-D amp including Ncore, and the Abletec and Pascal amps are the very best he has heard to date. Hell, if he was in it for the money, he could buy the Ncore NC1200/SMPS1200 for a $1000.00 a set, buy two sets and put them into two mono blocks, and rip you off and sell them for $12000.00 a pair like the Merrill Veritas amps and really screw you blind.
Audiozen, you may be misunderstanding what I said...

* With "Entry level" I refered to the pretty box that you order from the integrator, not the underlying power conversion module inside it... Yes, until now, D-Sonic consumer offerings have been entry level. The same or similar module used in an entry level power amplifier may be used in some very sophisticated end user products, like the Martin amps.

Which manufacturers use Abletec in their amps/integrated amps besides D-Sonic and Marten?
