Agree, it's very common for switch mode power supplies to accommodate a wide range of input voltage and frequency. But the press release says these amps use linear power supplies. I wonder if those might be linear power supplies AFTER the input switch mode power supply as you may have hinted.

If your using class D amp technology, then a focus EMC is already a must. Why not just use SMPS given its inherit advantages when EMC is well designed? Seems like a linear PS at that point may be more about marketing and less about system prrformance.

  Agree again. Audiophile mentality, and marketing to audiophiles:
  - Linear Power Supply Good.
  - Switching Power Supply Bad.
  The real answer is, 'it depends'.
