Purifi Class D: Junk?


So, from the previous thread about high-end class D the Purifi module was brought up. I decided to get a cheap example from VTV, a simple stereo unit with a single Purifi module and matching Hypex SMPS. Standard input buffer. I got it in yesterday. First impression wasn't what I was expecting: weak, congested dynamics is what stood out to me. I expected greater expression through my ProAc D30Rs. The other problems such as poor soundstage, thin / boring character, etc, I marked up to needing burn-in before evaluating. So it's been 24 hours, I would still expect to get at least the high control / damping of high end class D and dynamic power, but it's just not present.

Could it be an impedance mismatch? Other manufacturers selling the Purifi with their custom input buffers are reporting 47k Ohms. VTV doesn't say in the manual or on the site. I checked the Purifi data sheet which reports...2.2k Ohms on SE???? That can't be right?? That's absurdly low! Am I reading the right spec? My preamp has an output impedance of 230 Ohms. Can someone confirm that the stock Purifi has this ultra-low input impedance?

Talk about implicit bias!  Just read some of the other posts by the OP.
On top of which it's the most basic model from a company whose track record is worth checking out over on AudioScienceReview.
The outcome of this "trial" was about as predictable as that of a Salem witch trial.

opinion is essentially meaningless

And naturally his shill and name sake has to step in.
Once again on fuses for the gullible here that are thinking of throwing their money away paying $150+ for a 50cent fuse that’s just been dressed up to look glitzier.
You’ll never see the manufacturers of these (snake oil) fuses defending themselves or their products with the claims made on forums like these.

Just change the fuse if old fuse for a quality brand EE industry standard 50c fuse, as all fuses (even the snake oil ones) do age and still work but develop corrosion, sag and distort etc after too many turn on cycle surges.

Quick blow fuse aging         and            slow blow fuse aging .
