[QUOTE="NeoNot, post: 3417963, member: 581266"] I dont believe the amp challenge is comparing Class D to Class A/B. If memory serves me correctly it is comparing the 1Watt is 1Watt no matter what amplifier it is playing on. In this reguard I would agree with you. If you have two devices setup to run at the same level with no additional filtering on either amp they should sound the same. The issue that I see between the A/B and D amps is the power supply. I dont know what speed the D class amps power supply pulses at so I have no idea if you can hear it or not. I would however have to believe that at some given point in a song the power supply will pulse and cut off a note since the output stage have no power. This in turn could create a problem. The key is how quick it pulses. If the pulse is quicker than the human ear can detect then it would most likely not be noticable. Again I say check both amps out and see which sounds the best to you. That is the amp I would purchase, if it was me purchasing the amp. [/QUOTE]
