My new VTV Audio Class D amp arrived today

I ordered the amp from Warren with the Purifi module and the Sparkos ss3602 op amp, the latter chosen for its somewhat more relaxed sonic presentation compared to the other op amps that VTV offers.  Right out of the box, it strikes me as quite musical, without any noticeable harshness, although few inner details of the music are so far revealed.  It is dead quiet, as expected.  So with my initial favorable impressions, I will report back after it has 100 hours of run-in to comment on its SQ.

Congratulations! Love class D...can’t imagine anything else moving forward...lighter, cooler, more energy efficient... typically less costly...

I have the PS Audio Stellar 300...replaces a Music Reference RM9 mk2...

(Does it sound as good as that (IMHO) world class tube amp? No. However, it comes much much closer than it should ; )

P.S. Liking the idea of saving a small bit of energy too...

I am taking delivery of 2 D class amplifiers this coming week.

Because they are so inexpensive I bought the Class D Audio Mini GaN 5 balanced amplifier and the Bel Canto REF501S (latest versio) I will see how these match my Audio Hungary Qualiton X200 Tube Integrated. Will be interesting. Had an NAD M10 Was not thrilled with it.

@jerryg123 That Audio Hungary amp sounds and looks great.  I look forward to your impressions of the others in comparison.
