computer audiophile on the cheap Class D amplifiers, can a chip sound as good as a regular amplifier?

Hmmm so a $40 chip amplifier with a $10 power supply is not good enough for the Audiophile, at least not yet..  I guess Yamaha has not got the memo... http://www.yamahaproaudio.com/global/en/products/poweramps/

 

Similarly, Pioneer has been using class D amplification in its Elite line of receiver for 5+ years, and they get great reviews (and sound great - I have one).
