Red Dragon's new S500 Class D Amp

I know Class D amps are not held in high regard here. But I would really like to hear some opinions of the published specifications of this new amp. Red Dragon offers a 45 day trial period and I am tempted. The specs look quite impressive. If anyone has actually listened to it that would be even better.

The internals of this amp are the S-Pro2 from Pascal, a Danish company. The detailed audio specs can be found here in PDF form under the Product Flyer column. [url]http://pascal-audio.com/amplifier-modules.html[url]

The link to the Red Dragon product page is here: [url]http://www.reddragonaudio.com/collections/amplifiers/products/s500[url]

Really would appreciate some opinions even if just based on the specs.

Hi 1extreme,

Can you detail what other components and speakers you have in your system that you would pair with the Red Dragon S500? The reason I ask is I have the older Red Dragon M1000 Mk 1 monoblocks powering a pair of Ohm Walsh MicroTall SE speakers BUT I have a predominantly tube front end. A tube dac and with a tube preamp. The tubes along with the Red Dragon monoblocks is a very heavenly sounding combination to me.

Best of luck with the search. I've spoken to Ryan at RedDragon and he is a real nice guy.
