Just show you guys how "un-unique" their setup is, check out the link below, it is from Texas Instrument, a list of their Class D + BTL amp chips, or something TBI call Class BD. Many audiophile amp also uses chip from Ti, it's all depend on how well the chip is taken care of.

I've set the filter so that all you see is something that fits into their Class BD's description. Chances are, your cellphone's speaker is driven with a class D amp setup in BTL mode. Since this is one of the few ways you can fit a fairly powerful amp in a cellphone.
I'm not against this amp in any way or form, nor am I saying it is good or bad. I'm just against those absurd hype! Cambridge audio did something similar too, they started calling their amp Class XD, and started to describe how "normal amp" have crossover distortion and stuff, and how their uniquely tweaked Class XD fixed all that. Only one problem, the normal amp they were describing is called Class B, and their solution is called Class AB. Nothing that wasn't invented eons ago by brilliant engineers and scientists.

ManiacIsn't this still the best amp that has a small footprint and also sounds great through batteries? I'm looking for a good amplifier that has very good performance even through rechargeable batteries for a transportable small monitor setup that I would be taking with me around for most of my near field listening. Since you seem very technically knowledgeable on the subject, what would you recommend? I am currently using the only battery powered amp solution I know of, the Dayton DTA-1 amp and it works fine and has good sound quality, but was thinking this must be a noticeable big step up.

goldenWell, I have not tried either, so I can't say for sure. Class D/T like every other amp type, can change a lot for the better or for the worse, all depending on how well it is done.
