I know Rogue uses the Hypex UcD Class D modules but they modify the front-end with tube inputs and do something with the output MOSFETs.... or something to that effect from what I recall reading.
The design got a lot of positive press and praise but I didn't hear it that way.
Unfortunately, their "Hybrid Class D" implementation struck me as worse sounding than some plain-ole mainstream Class D amps that I have owned.
At the other end of the spectrum, I know that Rogue's all-tube amps are fantastic sounding and a great bargain. I had my eyes on the M-180's but then found a great deal on a pair of used Ampzilla 2000 2nd Edition SS mono blocks. But the M-180's are on my bucket list to try someday. ;-)
