[QUOTE="gunz4me, post: 5526917, member: 596464"] Actually, the DF on most class D amps is low by their design and if you listen to cRap, it doesn't matter. Throw some All That Remains in there and things sometimes change! The other thing I have noticed about Class D amps in general is that they tend to clip hard and FAST. That wave squares off like you would not believe when looking through an oscilloscope and I think that is one of the things I have mistaken for crappy DF or crappy SQ when hearing other setups. I believe their gain levels are set sooooo close to clipping, that certain songs I play will actually drive their sub amps into clipping. That, and many of them are aggressive with their bass boost in addition to using loudness and the bass controls on their head units. [/QUOTE]
