Confused by ICE applications


I've started to get interested in the switch-mode power supplies, but I'm confused by how the various amplifier makers use them. My current investigation is into the B&O ICE modules and Jeff Rowland amps.

From what I can see on the ICE web page, they only sell complete amplifier modules. If that's so, what does JRDG (or Bel Canto) do with them? I'd thought that ICE would supply the power supply and the output stage was then up to the end user...

Yes a FULL explanation probably would clear up a bunch of stuff.Like damping factor ,just exactly what difference is there going from 1000,2000 4000,my amp has 75 and if its on the disc to begin with there is big time bass,but it has to be on the disc,and pretty much every disc i listen to is different ,i suppose it depends on the recording,they are all quite different.As far as bass went anyway with the amps i listened to it wasnt any better anyway,if anything there was way to much.I'd say the most confusion is how can a module that cost hundreds translate into a product that sells for thousands?Oh its the implementation,sure it is.
