[QUOTE="Hennie, post: 37569, member: 20"] The switching frequency of the Flying Moles should be in the few hundred kHz region, most modern switch mode amps are in that region. A few designs tried to push it to over 1MHz, I don't know how successful they are. My own experience with Class D is that modern technologies like Hypex can compete with very good Class A and Class AB amps. Listening to a Hypex gives a strong impression of smoothness and a lack of glare. All technologies have their pro's and cons. Well implemented Class D has the benefit lowest distortion at the lowest power levels, like Class A, and unlike Class AB, which has an increase in distortion in the sub 1W region. Perhaps that's why Class D has been credited with a smooth and non-fatiguing sound. Some say its like a Class A valve amp with better bass control. The Flying Moles are very popular with Japanese hi-efficiency fans (100dB/W etc). That says a lot about the Flying Moles' distortion performance at low power levels. [/QUOTE]
