In Reply to: RE: Onkyo A-9555 vs NAD C372? posted by dave123456@mail.com on July 09, 2014 at 00:32:40
Listening to components in your own system really is the best way. Given both can be had for not too much coin, I'd buy both and sell the loser.
Some folks, including me, ultimately find switching amplifiers like the Onkyo unsatisfactory at reproducing music. You need to make that judgement call.

What does this mean please explain.. I know the Onkyo is digital but don't know what this means exactly.
Same thing as digital or class D. It amplifies via digital switching at very high frequencies then must filter out the carrier signal.
The NAD is a traditional analog class AB amp.
'd' was just the next letter in line. 'd' amps are NOT digital.
E-stat is right about high switching frequencies and filters. THAT, IMO is the real problem with 'd' amps. I found them, in the long run, to not satisfy in the higher registers and to produce what I think were phase effects which also diminished the experience.
My new 'A/AB' amps are wonderful.
Too much is never enough
