Peeps keep conflating class D with digital square waves and calling it digital amplification.Class D is a digital amp since when?

When you consider that PCM can be processed by a digital delta-sigma converter to a DSD bitstream and then send to a MOSFET switch for power amplification, this is pretty close to being digital. Certainly pretty far from a class AB power ampClass D is a digital amp since when?

That was my point.But who cares/does it really matter?
That was my point.
When you consider the performance of the JL electronics Sylph D200 Amplifier Module, cost of good clean power should be quite low soon if not now. That module is TI TPA 3255 based. So, performance is much better. But, if you don't hear much bad coming from the pioneer, it's a moot point.I have a Pioneer surround receiver with Class D3 amplifiers from 2013. It had a list price of around 1650.00
I am thinking that the newer digital amps with the TI chips surpass it in sound quality?

Digital??? Do you mean class D?I have a Pioneer surround receiver with Class D3 amplifiers from 2013. It had a list price of around 1650.00

pioneer calls it Class D3 amplifiers
They're just class D and they're likely just fine....look guys, I'm not a egghead science major like some of you. I have a hard enough time remembering what a transistor does
