Oh how I wish Class D amps ...

I sure wish manufacturers and designers would move forward as quickly as is possible on improving the current status of Class D amps ... I have heard them all, some in my own system, and they have SO mcu promise !!! Unfortunately they just do not have it down yet. They still sound dry, unmusical, and strange in the treble ... kind of chalky and rolled off, and definitely lacking air.
I long for the day I can get rid of my hundred pound Class AB monster amp, for a nice small cool running amp that sounds just as good. I am worried though that designers and manufacturers have accepted the " It sounds good enough" opinion, and that the B&O Ice power may be a long time before it is "fixed"... sigh.
Just my rant ...

What did you think of the Digital Amp Company Cherry Plus?

It has consistently bettered all Class D I have compared it to - Spectron, Channel Island, Wyred, Rotel.

Was so much better than the Modwright 100SE in my system.

Curious to hear what was lacking from the Cherry Plus that you auditioned.

See the StereoTimes reviews for a good description of what it can do.
