I'm posting this here since there doesn't seem to be a forum that better matches my topic.
I see that some people on the forum (percy, Bruno and dutch among others) are discussing the difference between Class-D and Digital amplifiers. TI calls their products in the latter category True Digital Audio Amplifiers (TDAA). I believe this term is a much better way to refer to the devices in question.
TDAA's typically accepts PCM/I2S digital audio streams as inputs, convert these to PWM signals to drive their (Class-D style) digital/switching power stages and then filters the signal to produce the amplified signal which goes to the speakers.
I am a firm believer that TDAA's (not necessarily TI's) are the way forward and I would like to build some of these myself in the near future. Has anyone here already done so?
Does anyone know how some of these TDAA's compare to each other and/or to other (ie Class-D) amps?
Any other views/thoughts welcome!
