Dan...my pleasure. Yes, I have had a bias against Class D amplification and the sad thing is that it has been cultivated purely based on what I have read in reviews of earlier pieces, having never actually heard a Class D amp. This opened my eyes to the fact that clearly this topology has come a long way and like with most things, it's not only the theoretical plusses and minuses of each approach or topology that counts, but more so it's how well it's implemented to achieve a sonic result that gets you closer to the music. There are good examples and bad examples of Class A, Class A/B. Class D, tubes vs. SS amps, etc...
