Digital Amp's

Hi All,
I was wondering what everyone thinks of the newer Digital Amps that are becoming more common. I think these Amps are known as Class D amps. Belcanto is one company that seems to be pushing this line, but most seem to be coming from the giants like yamaha and panasonic.

What are the pros and cons of these AMP's over your everyday Class A/AB amp?
Any recommendations or condemnations for digital amps?

Thanks in Advance

I have tried the PS Audio HCA-2 and recently Channel Island D-100 Both excellent amps but like Audioengr give me a Class A SS amp.

Eldartford, In my world, in my system, a 100 watt Class A amps sound the best. In your world, digital 600 Watt amps float your boat thats fine. To each there own.

Muralman1, since I have seemed to ruffle some feathers I have only heard in my system the 2 class D amps I mention above in my post. Of those 2 class D amps I auditioned, my class A amps have a wider soundstage, better front to back imaging and deeper bass. As I also mention in my initial post the 2 class D amps are excellent amps but I happen to like my class A amps better.
