No i've heard that from other people about certain class-d amps. Just a tad too digital and sharp. I only run vintage speakers so they may weigh each outer out. Dunno. Will try to find one cheap and report back.
Having my eyes peeled on a pair of JBL Centurys at a local old school auctioneer. Bought plenty of things there cheap and hoping these fly under the radar as well. In need of some tlc but still. Also a couple Luxmans listed..

Not with the other Class D's I've had. My Rogue's power circuit was Class D and the SMSL AD18 that I have returned to is also Class D. It was just really piercing and quite shrill. I can't listen to horns for more than five mins because they make my ears hurt. So maybe I'm just a weirdo.
@psee - ha - glad to hear I'm not the only indecisive one. I saw someone on ASR write: 'Fosi Audio, Douk, Aiyima etc are all very good for the money, whereas SMSL, Loxie, Topping etc are just good period.' I would also like to try a DA-9, but to be honest, I will probably just save my cash for now. CXA61's have just had a huge price cut in the U.S. from the outrageous $1099 to $599, so I'll probably wait for those to come back into stock/wait for one to pop up on Cambridge Audio's refurb eBay site and snap that up. I ordered an AXR85 but cancelled my order due to yet more indecision.
