RE: "giant killing" class D amps?

Posted by Les Anderson on December 30, 2017 at 14:37:55:
Thanks. I was not aware zetex was acquired by CSR. So I wonder what has changed under the hood on these units since the m2? Hard to believe it's nothing.

My c390dd is fully loaded with the analog card and newer smaller BluOS card. The phono stage in the analog card is not great but the adc is transparent so I use an outboad and am hoping/expecting the m32 phono stage is improved. Have you used it?

The c390dd does support mqa via bluos. I am going to yank the card out of it and put it in the m32. The c390 even offers rudimentary, yet effective room eq in the form of a 5 band eq covering the lower frequencies that works with a spl meter. I am hoping this omission in the m32 is due to Dirac live implementation on the roadmap.

Anyway, I am assuming the m32 improved the power supply as you suggest and that they use better parts. The m32 is a stunner aesthetically.

What are you expecting to get out of the m50.2? I have read that it's bluos implementation is more sophisticated, but haven't dug into the details.
