I haven't played with class D in a while, are we at PASS level yet?

I do not think I need to study old things.

Appearantly you do. What it means is that the sample is analog.

Class D is inherently just as analog as class A or B or C or E or F or G or H.

There's absolutely nothing in the principle of a class D amp that even hints at it being digital in any way.

Anyways, besides this. I haven't built or even heard an F5 but I'd pressume is similar to the son of zen 8W amp I built several years ago. That was relegated to collect dust when I got my first Tripath amp. I threw it out a couple of years ago when I rebuilt my home audio system to run only on solar panel charged batteries. It's completely off grid.

To me a good a Tripath amp beats the son of zen with my FE206 BLHs in every single aspect. There is no aspect where the son of zen was better at all.

Inverter or direct ..... ?
 
Hi,
Amen...
I said that is digital?
However, the speech was another, focusing on the defects of class D. one question: do you (or someone) tell me what affect the class D non-linear behavior and get a clean as the class AB? since all the amps suffer from this defect?

Nope, isn't similar.

IMMO F5 is one of the very best amplifiers available today but for a high sensitivity speakers (92dB or more), I have here other Pass amps like the XA30.5 (This is better but sometimes I prefer the F5) or a Aleph 3 (Of course a Zen), and a ton of different class D amps, some Ice (ASP and ASC), some Red Rocks, and Hypex (UDC180), and in my opinion no comparison, but is just my opinion and I have a 96dB 1W/m speakers.
