Class D amps

I know Class D power amps are used in car audio applications. Why not for home audio power amps? Thanks.

Might want to do some homework on the latest Hypex NCore amps. They have kicked a lot of big names out of some very high-end systems.

nCores! They've got my blood up, and I've been content for so long. I've come close to putting my name on the list three times now. The thought of gathering what few parts needed to assemble them is turning me off. Then the 6Moons review, those little prototypes look (as my Son would say) DIRTY!

So I've stayed away for a month hoping they'd offer a complete kit.

Fiddler, I seem to remember you were listening to some switchers before the UCD's? Pop a picture and I'll send you a canoli.

Vicdamone,

They have complete kits of the UCDs but as for the nCores, Bruno is teaming up with Jan-Peter for this: http://www.mola-mola.nl/. As for the price, if Bruno wants to keep slaying the market, it might be within reach.

Getting back to the UCDs, they've supposedly been upgraded as well to meet 3 of the 4 criteria for the nCores. http://www.hypex.nl/docs/papers/ncore%20wp.pdf
The newer UCDs are an improvement over the 2001 design.

All the best,
Nonoise

Nonoise, Thanks. The last time I went to the Mola-Mola site it was just a flash page.

I received my NCores in the first batch, but I just haven't put them together yet. I have been running UCD400HG with HxR for 2 or 3 years. They are fabulous and I expect the NCores will be considerably better based on what I have read.
