Comments
And a price to reflect the goods! $1899!

yea, the price doesn't affect the sound quality, just the 'experience' and at $1900 it's pushing...
I like the bal and unbal options, 210+ w 8ohm, and unlike pro amps (that I've seen, could be wrong) it has a 12v trigger, and no fan noise, in a compact box
I haven't heard that amp, but have you considered the ncore or new purifi boards? I know it's easier to just buy something, but, both boards that I mentioned are reported to sound good.
Someone on here had several reliability issues with the hypex stuff.
I have the ncores, and can verify they are really really good compared to most AB amps that you can get in that price range (say upto 2k) I have not have any experience with amps beyond that range. 400watts of clean power, driven by a good quality DAC should just about fit in within 2k budget.
And if you do not want to DIY, you can get nc252mp/nc502mp based amps.
Price varies a lot but a very basic nc252mp based amp can be obtained for less that $600USD:

The hypex modules OEM and DIY do measure super clean and with good power.
Nc400? Do you have a build thread?
no build thread, got a pair used fully built in mono boxes for less than the amps and smps
Great deal!
thx, I'll look into them
then there are the Legacy powerblocs 2ch (and 4ch) 325W @8ohm...

just traded in my old friends; two acurus 150s towards a powerbloc4
325w x 4 8ohm should do the trick (biamp set-up)
Hm ... I like Acurus ...
Icepower modules in that. I would have opted for hypex or purifi based designs.
In any case, should be a great amp.
