Interesting concept the PWM amp. I believe the first unit was introduced by Infinity in 1976, 30 years ago!! No direct digital connection, of course, but the shape of things to come...
I wonder if the PWM approach clips in the conventional sense. I find the power output of the affordable units quite low for wide dynamic range material. I would love to play something dynamic on them, like the 1812 Overture or that legendary Telarc of the Carmen Suite, just to examine its behavior reproducing those large peaks. my 270 wpc SX-1980 handles them ease. Anything below 100 watts (in conventional design) is asking for trouble... -- crooner Squeezebox 3 with Power One Linear Power Supply Lite Audio DAC60 tube DAC Pioneer SX-1980 Vandersteen 2Ce Signature Vandersteen 2W ------------------------------------------------------------------------ crooner's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3379 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=22502 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
