Do the NC400 Hypex kits come with two mono amps or do you have to buy two at
€ 650 for stereo?
How to DIY yourself very nice Class D monoblocks
If you want to know what the hoopla is about Class D and want to put together a very nice sounding kit I have a starter recommendation for you.
Go to Parts Express and search for "ICEPower ASP"
Next, look online for Ghent Audio. They make many sets of cases.
You'll need a high power soldering iron, and screw skills.
Between those two, you can put together a very nice monoblock for around $500 a piece.
I highly recommend both. I have no financial interest in either.
You may need wiring kits, so make sure to order appropriately.

Check out this Nord amp. It is the exact same price in USD as the Hypex NC400 kit, but it comes with the NC500 module, an input buffer, a bigger power supply, and it's already assembled. https://www.nordacoustics.co.uk/product-page/nord-one-nc500dmst-3 If you buy the stereo version, it's actually cheaper than two Hypex mono kits. |
I’d be more inclined to have a go at these, USA made sold and backed. https://classdaudio.com/amplifier-kits.html Proper linear power supplies with Toroidal transformers, not noisy switch mode ones. And these are far less costly than the Euro alternatives, also come in kit or assembled. And these guys are soon to release a GaN technology Class-D, they know where the progression of Class-D sound quality is coming from Cheers George |
