No, they call it Class-I.Crown avoided the dreaded "D" with an "H" instead in the K1 and K2 amps. Clever marketing people are always there to protect us. LOL

Right. A switch is not digital per se. Again, look at the definition of digital - "encoded numerically". One switch does not digital make.Operating a MosFET transistor as a switch, with low Rds On with an appropriate Toroid choke on the ass end, to turn it Analog again, is still more semantics arguments. The voltage swing notwithstanding the principle operation as a Switch. None of us are totally wrong. Capacitors excluded.
People get confused with PWM because it has square waves that are modulated and they don't realize that for digital to occur there must be digital math performed and in a class D amp none of this digital math is occurring.Right.

On and off isn't digital*. It's PWM - the signal is encoded in an analogue pulse width.The mostly Digital part is what makes the Analog good.
How many actual production class D amps are there with a digital feedback loop?
Axign based designs have this. Those amps are probably as close to a digital Class D amp as it gets.How many actual production class D amps are there with a digital feedback loop?
The Axign controller, which A-to-D converts the amp output for feedback and performs error corrections in the digital domain, is used in many of Harman's products (the HK Citation streaming amp, and many of its powered speakers). The SMSL VMV A2A and its sister company Sabaj's A30a also uses Axign controllers.How many actual production class D amps are there with a digital feedback loop?
Thanks! Interesting. Maybe I should resubscribe to AudioXpress (I gave up when they were mostly product promotion, and especially the MQA silliness, with a bunch of vintage tube DIY thrown in as filler). Hats off for managing to make the digital feedback loop low-latency and high bandwidth enough!The Axign controller, which A-to-D converts the amp output for feedback and performs error corrections in the digital domain, is used in many of Harman's products (the HK Citation streaming amp, and many of its powered speakers).

If correctly configured.Yep, but Millions of them do make digital.
Just listen to any theremin performance.Does a singular sine wave make music?
I wonder if we have a language issue here. Singular implies one wave, but not that that one wave would somehow be invariable.That's a Variable sine wave. Not singular. Like a singular switch to call ONE binary digit.
What country are you based in? I bought Nord, love it but I am UK based too.Hello
Am about to buy an Ncx500 amp.
Buy not sure wich one.
What manufacturer is the best choice?
What model did you buy and why?
Are you an IA?Yes, I see you are biased towards Euro products. Worrying about fractional dbWatts at the max end is a waste of time. Get horn speakers. Money better spent if you truly care about Efficiency and non-existent thermal issues.
Am in sweden.What country are you based in? I bought Nord, love it but I am UK based too.
That's from my amp's original manufacturer's data sheetNot if you get them from the ORIGINAL maker. Your opinion is not valid unless you have specifically experienced thermal issues, or can point to specific makers.. Which are likely from abusive use by less knowledgeable users rather than manufacturers making modular products from the inventors' inventory.
With super low Rds On specs of the Mosfet transistors in the output, heat sinking is only required by makers with above average paranoia concerning the customers described in prior sentence.
Your post was NOT Helpful at all to someone about to spend over a Grand in US, Canadian, or Euro cash.
To Home horn speaker owners, your product was rendered obsolete vis the Topping PA5 mk II.
Well, I believe Nord do export a majority of their amps. I bought one 2 months ago and love it. The build quality is very good, defo recommend - https://nordacoustics.co.uk/product-category/nord-one-ncx500/Am in sweden.
