It has been few months and I am wondering if anyone tried the Class D amps from Nord and the likes?. Who makes a good amp based on Hypex NCore 1200 power on a decent budget?. What are the impressions that might have changed, if any, regarding Class A/B vs Class D with any of the users who posted here?. I am considering Class D amps like ATI AT543NC, Nord, Red Dragon M1000 MKII and Legacy Powerbloc4.

That may not be important for lot of folks I assume. Signal to Noise Ratio (SNR): 91dB @ 10W is this competitive with rest of Class D offering?.

ICE vs Hypex vs Class ABH vs Class AB(high bias class A). Price is all over the place too. So hard to compare. Reviewers has a good impression of Class D amps till the end but they all add that Class D cannot reproduce Class A magic. It is just so confusing. What are the pros and cons of having SMPS vs Linear supply like difference between ATI vs Legacy Powerbloc4. I really wish most of amps have the lowest distortion till the first 10 watts. But some have inverted curve for the first few watts and then increase. At the end I think I just have to spend time and money to compare them at home and pick something.
