Not all Class D amps are created the same just like SET or A/B SS amps or tube amps.
Spectron designs its own IECs and chooses parts that give it a very 'musical' sonic signature all things being equal.
Bel Canton uses modified B&O IECs and their sonic signature is a bit warmer than the Spectron or many SS amps...all things being equal again.
I agree with the other posters on cables and espcially the preamp. I use a Spectron with a tube preamp and it is anything but clinical, dry or bright.
