Allegedly, based on spec, Hypex has a lower output impedance across the range so in theory it should be better for particularly difficult loads like electrostatics.

DIY Class D amps
The Icepower 1200AS2 ICEedge molule has already beaten the NCore NC400 and NC500 (reviews posted online). And this is with a stock 1200AS2 in a box with good wiring and jacks. The NC400 amp set costs you $1300 Euros plus paypal fees and shipping and you have to assemble them. My much better sounding stereo amp with a tweaked out 1200AS2 is $1000 US completely assembled. The IcePower amps sold by Parts Express are not ICEedge. The 1200AS1/2 are the newer much better sounding IceEdge modules. I modded the NC400 modules years ago. They are not in the league of the new Icepower IceEdge modules. You can see a pic of one of my mods to a unit including better filter caps in the output and my binding post bypass system here (the information on my site about this is years old): http://tweakaudio.com/EVS-2/Hypex_NC400_mods_and_assembly.html As I said in another thread.....if you have not heard the latest Class D and heard it tweaked to the max then you are listening to amps that have been superseded in sound quality (Let's all sing along....."Who wants yesterdays papers....who wants yesterdays Class D....nobody in the world") |
