Not yet. but i do have lots of experience to class D amps, owned and demoed.
Not yet.
The are micro-processor controlled amps with filters, they are not pure analog amps. Yes, some have MOSFETs doesn't make them analog amps
Very interesting design, but to me they seem badly hampered by the lack of control options. They’ve been imminently “roon read” for ages, but even if that was delivered why would you pay $120 a year for a volume control that is bound to be laggy because it is app and network based. And no Qobuz. And dutch and dutches own network based app is laggy too, by some accounts. Nor does it make much sense to use a DAC in front of them, that just gives you a redundant D-A-D path. They need an inbuilt DLNA renderer, a USB input and a responsive, inbuilt remotely controllable volume control.
Lee, i agree some class D amps are mosfet base. But it is controlled how? With a digital filter or not?
Can you tell me which class D modules are being used in these?
A breakout box to add greater connectivity for domestic users would be useful and D&D are working on that, their own app isn’t laggy at all, and they do have inbuilt remotely controllable volume I am using it at this moment.Very interesting design, but to me they seem badly hampered by the lack of control options.

The reviews on this system do seem very favourable, but as always I’ll get round to listening for myself.
It looks like you are within easy reach of us. If the aesthetics pass muster, I would be happy to offer you the same home demo that Nagraboy just had.
It was the Hypex Ncores, I first heard them in the Grimm LS1s that really convinced me that Class -D could be just as good as anything,

From memory, they use Pascal modules.
Do you mean by remote volume control the web based app? Or is there an actual remote control?
