I have heard many class “D” amplifiers. To these ears, they all sounded inferior. Over and over, proud owners compare them to their ‘old’ single ended, class A or class AB amplifiers with perplexing results. They consistanly cannot compare. I have even seen audiophiles replace their great sounding traditional amps with these switching compacts.

Why are so many audiophiles willing to go backwards in sound quality ? Why are so many audiophiles embracing this technology ? I honestly don’t understand it. It’s a real head scratcher. 🤔
