I am using the Hypex NCore NC400 Bridged Mono Block class D Power Amplifiers (4 NC400 amplifiers, 2 on each side) purchased from James Romeyn Music and Audio, LLC (James). He was very
helpful answering my many questions and I suggest you contact him for more
information on his assembled Hypex amplifiers (he offers 3 class D models). The cost for the bridged unit is $2,980 (plus shipping) and his contact # is 435.213.3953.
This is my first class D power amplifier and, based on my results, sounds terrific. Of course, everyone has a different opinion on this subject. You never know “how it really sounds”, until you listen in your room and system.

In summary, I am thrilled with how good my system sounds. I am hearing details, imaging and bass that I have not heard before. My system now offers breathtaking detail, transparency, lack of noise, and excellent dynamics and sounds much better than my Luxman L-590ax Class A integrated amplifier. My DAC is going direct (balanced XLR connection) into my power amplifier with no pre-amplifier. This change feels like another layer of sound is presented WITHOUT THE pre-amplifier in the system. The volume is controlled by the volume control on my DAC.
