Dave Upton · M3a-5400-7

The D-Sonic M3a-5400-7 shines in 2 channel mode, but it is blindingly awesome for home theater use. You may or may not recognize what a power-starved speaker sounds like — but I'll almost guarantee you have heard it at some point in the past. Perhaps it's when you turn the volume…

Glenn Wagenknecht · M3-1500M Monoblocks

The contest was far from one-sided. The ICE 250 may throw massive weight into the presentation but the D-Sonic countered with superior transparency, equivalent overall dimensionality and greater dimensionality in the upper midrange. These two powerhouses were different in flavor…

Gene Hopstetter · M3a-600M Monoblocks

The M3a-600M amplifiers delivered fast, detailed, and seemingly limitless sound out of my system without a hint of digital harshness. No ice cube showers, no digititis, and no fatiguing harshness. I listened to them for days on end without ever wanting to change anything about th…

Frank Lichon · M3a-1200S

The D-Sonic M3a-1200S is an attractive alternative to the large, heavy, high-powered amplifiers available today. By utilizing Class D amplification topography, the D-Sonic is relatively light and generates very little to no heat. Featuring newly available technology, the D-Sonic…

Happy New Year! I just wanted to let you know that I think I am going to hang onto the amp I bought from you a few months ago. Because I review a lot of gear, I haven't been using the amp very much. I did use it a little over the holidays and it sounds excellent. I am also planni…

I received the amp this afternoon. Holy cow, I was not prepared for this level of improvement. It certainly passed my first test with flying colors, and that is my wife noticing a major improvement. We have a winner! It sounded great out of the box, and it mellowed out rather qui…

I took delivery of my amps yesterday. I immediately unpacked and hooked the amps into my system and have to say that I am extremely happy. Honestly I'm happier with my purchase than I had imagined. My biggest concern was that I wouldn't be able to match what I had with the Krell…

The amplifier arrived yesterday. From first impressions — it's amazing! I connected so far only 3 LCR Speakers and tested it on some songs + movies. Already compared to my Yamaha A3080 the sound is much more detailed, the bass is much more tight and even my 15-year old JBL Northr…

Amp arrived today. No preamp. Straight from my mid fi, Bluesound Node 2i. No break in. Asymmetric clutter all over the room. Still… in just the first tracks… You're on to something here. It's a shame I had to search high and low to discover that D-Sonic even existed. You gotta se…

It was a pleasure meeting you two weeks ago. You were very pleasant with whom to do business and I really appreciate the amplifier I purchased. I've only had two opportunities to "test drive" it, but it more than exceeded my expectations. On some of the music DVDs, I had to turn…

I was able to connect up the M3a into my system on the night of the third and it has been playing flawlessly up to the writing of this email. I am beyond words of how your one device brought together so many little concerns — staging, stage fill-in & depth, finesse, POWER and con…

Just a quick note to follow up on the recent upgrade of my M3a-6000-5… the amp is running way cooler than it had previously and sounds simply stunning! The newer input boards appear to be significantly better than the originals which I always thought were pretty good!

I have close to 300 hours on the amps and about 150 hours on the new Magnepan 3.7i speakers and I am absolutely delighted. The amps sound spectacular. I took your advice and simply hooked the RELs up via low level connection off the pre amp.

I got it! So neat. Worth every penny. Every single aspect of using the system improved, because the sound improved. I didn't realize how underpowered things were until I actually had this. Sports sound better. Movies sound better. TV sounds better. My wife asked me to turn it dow…

Dennis, I'm sure you've heard it all before, but I just wanted to convey my thanks as these amps you have created are gems. So detailed, tight, wonderful attack/decay, soundstaging etc. Still breaking in along with some new Silnote cables. "Good job" from another happy customer.

I think the M3a upgrade is a great improvement over the previous model. In my mind this is not subtle. I actually use two different pairs of speakers in this system: Magnepans and Klipsch Heresy 3 both highly modified. With the Klipsch speakers any amp that is even a little harsh…

Thanks again for letting me take the Mono Blocks home to San Antonio for an audition. I have been playing them for a couple of days now and they sound great. The Kappa 9's have been singing like song birds while knocking the paintings off the wall (ok, the paintings didn't actual…

I've been listening to the updated M3a after setting it up last week. I do notice a difference. I recall you described the new circuitry as providing more sonically natural sound in the mid to high frequencies. I notice what I would describe as a more blended or balanced sound, w…

I looked over the D-Sonic multi-channel Class D amplifiers — beautiful products, excellent specifications, clearly well designed and a high quality build, and with the 3 year warranty they look very nice to me. Class D amps can sound way better than the traditional analog Class A…
