Future of analog controlled class 'D' amps?


Here's an interesting article on the technology

Does anyone here think that they will ever compete with class 'A' amps in terms of sound quality?

UcD = Universal class D. which is a technology, not a company, invented by the man who wrote the article I linked to.

I think Bruno was much too pesimistic, a couple of companies have purchased a license to this technology and I'm sure there will be more to follow.

Some will want to make their own audiophile grade class D amps from scratch. Can you imagine ATC deigning to license technology from another company?

BASH is a digital switching class D based architecture developed by a company named Indigo. Several manufacturers have licensed it. Polk is now using it in their LSI subwoofer.
Yes, I did mean class 'A' transistor amps.

Do BASH amps use digitally controlled or analog controlled class 'D' amps? BASH is spreading in subwoofer amps in the consumer grade.
