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?

Like I said, you have no idea, even with proof from Scott.

Also no idea either on streamers, all are still waiting for you to prove yourself right to everyone.
We’re still waiting for your proof with links and CD cat. no. to prove you know what your talking about

tradeontheweb,

Yes, I noticed you have attempted to come to george's defence when he was making a fool of himself, like here:

https://forum.audiogon.com/posts/678981   (where you both were wrong)

and here:  https://forum.audiogon.com/posts/1422053   where you help with his even at that time ignorant knowledge of Class-D  (which has not improved in 4+ years I see.

and here:  https://forum.audiogon.com/posts/1455259   ... where you help with his ignorance on DAC technology.


Strange, seems you often pop up when george is trying to make a point about something he is wrong about. What is up with that?
Oh george, you must realize by now that everyone knows you are the looney bird here. Quack quack.
