This has come up a few times, when I refer to class-D amplifiers as digital amps and someone corrects me and says they're analog amps.
Aren't they technically digital amps? They output a signal that approximates an analog one, but they're doing it by switching on/off very quickly.
It seems to me they're analog amps about as much as the CD is an analog medium because we hear something that approximates analog coming from it.
Please discuss.
Extra points for anyone that would like to talk about early experiences w/ Class-D amplifiers. How long ago were you exposed? How did they sound then? Any notable older products that used them?
