In Reply to: RE: REVIEW: Class D Audio SDS-258 Amplifier (SS) posted by Dman on February 27, 2015 at 08:03:19:
I think criticism of class D tends to be a bit unfair. Although, of course, if you expect a class D amp to sound like tubes you will be disappointed.
Some critics, notably Morricab, make a point of criticising class D high frequency performance; he has call them "tizzy". But I don't agree: at worse they are a little bright although it very much depends on the recording. Let's say that class D amps (as well as some other s/s amps) don't cut much slack for bad recording practice.
My Pass Labs amp is better in every respect than the CDA SDS-258, although more in some respects than others. The thing to bear in mind is that the Pass X150.5 is 9x the price of the SDS-258. It's still my opinion that the Class D Audio amps are outstanding value for the money: perhaps NOTHING can touch them in this respect.
NOT the 51st state, eh!?!
