In this case, it's a very affordable amp with performance matching the price, but gets me thinking, is digitizing the input such a bad thing in amplification? I know that Class D amps are not "digital" and I'm not expert in class d design, except understanding the Basic concept. But for exemple NCORE designs already uses adcs in their feedback circuits as comparators. ADCs and DAC are so good now it should be transparent, with the added benefit of DSP, still it still stick in the mind of the audiophiles that adding convertion in the chain is a bad thing. Again, in this case I don't fully know what I'm talking about, but altough PWM is not digital convertion, it does share common grounds. Seems to me that digitizing the inputs could potentially lead to simpler, cheaper, good performing class D designs but it's still not very common. Wondering if we will see more and more, Just thinking out loud, don't take this as gospel, I'm sure there are pitfalls to this and I'm sure if I was gonna go and study in dept class D design, maybe what I'm suggesting here doesn't even make sense.
