T-amps (Off Topic)

All Class-D amps have a switching noise residual. The switching frequency goes from 400khz to more than 1 mhz. Output low pass filters recovers the audible range but the cut is not at 20khz but higher, not to affect audible frequencies. Tripath amps have usually a second order 100khz low pass output filter, so the range 20khz-100khz will still have switching noise.

This is not a problem because this is not audible, but is a problem for measuring instruments, so these need custom filters.
