D-Sonic amp vs Halo A31

I am struggling to decide between Halo A31 vs D-Sonic amp. I need 6 channels of amp. My main question is sound quality . Has anyone heard either Halo A21 or A31 and compared it to D-Sonic amp? Restocking fee is high for D-Sonic amp so I would really appreciate it if anyone can provide some input. Sounds like Halo A21 and A31 are very good amps but D-Sonic also got very excellent reviews. I did like Nuforce reference amp but it sounded edgy at times.D-Sonic appears to be far better in sound quality from what I have read. Thanks in advance.

Runnin,

I glad someone else said it, because Parasound is considered to be very reliable!

Refurbs? Ive not seen refurbs very often. I'll second the motion that the A21 sounds quite musical, but i don't have any experience with class D.

I would try Wyred4sound, see too many refurbished Parasounds on the market.

I'm hesitant to respond because I've never listened to D-Sonic amps. I owned the Peachtree 220SE and their Grand Integrated, both of them are Class D amps. It's my understanding that D-Sonics amps sound much better than Peachtree, but based on my experience I don't think I will own Class D amplifiers again. I currently own a Parasound A-21 and in the context of my system find the sound to be more musical. The Peachtree amps never had a natural sound to them.
