in my opinion yes it is. way cleaner, much louder, and bass seems more punchy to me. the only problem is i have no idea how much of that is due to having to use a dsp vs just the amp itself

When the local shop recommended the Soundigital over the Arc Audio I was surprised, its also a lot cheaper.

Now y'all have gotten me curious. What model 800.4 exactly were y'all referring to? When I googled it I got links to bigger amps that must be for the car product line instead of the compact/bike line.

Does the SD still retain FM signal like the Arc is the other ?

Hoyt the amp your looking for is the Evo line SD800.4.
Soundigital 800.4
Also keep in mind that it has no crossovers.
