"In the deep bass, class D amps tend to fail in maintaining current due to insufficient storage capacitance to bridge the 60hz at high current. Maggies being current hogs at low frequencies really show up the class D amp's limitations."
That is a power supply issue, not a Class-D issue. There are numerous Class-D amps (both commercial and DIY) that utilize linear power supplies with large capacitance reservoirs.
You should read up on the switching frequency and type of modulator used in Ncore technology. (The white paper has been available for a few years now.)
