An Edifier rep told me that the signal conversion process inside their bookshelf speakers with a class D amp would be more like an ADC (analog to digital converter) which made me think giving it a digital signal would be better, but after looking into myself I thought it still made more sense that the conversion from an analog signal to PWM is less lossless than giving the class D amp a digital signal. My rationale is that PWM in a class D amp is more like converting one type of analog version to another type of analog, not analog to digital, in which case the speakers are doing more processing on the signal, but I don't really know.
So is it better to go digital or analog input on a class D amp, or are both about the same? Can the design implementation affect which is better in a particular set of speakers?
