Home Speaker Asylum

General speaker questions for audio and home theater.

RE: You're mistaken

Agreed, all class D amps are analog. Class D is an analog format. It's unfortunate that it's called class D especially since the signal is encoded and decoded but it is an analog encoding. The combination of encoding and the name class D makes people who don't understand the format assume D is for digital since we live in a digital universe these days.

The reason it's called class D is simple. There were 3 formats defined previously. They were A, B, C(decidedly not an audiophile format). And the fourth format was D since D comes after C.
