Hypex Ncore NC400

Thanks, I have been following that thread closely for a while now.

Problem is solved as I am buying a pair of amps using the NC1200 modules.

Can't wait!

Question for Nsirkin, Hi my name is MrAcoustat, i was at a friend's home a few weeks ago and for the FIRST time heard a class D amplifier that i liked, it was a Hypex stereo amp with NC-400 & SMPS-600, now i have the intention of having mono blocks built for myself, my speakers are also 81db Acoustat 1+1s [IMG]http://i814.photobucket.com/albums/zz61/MrAcoustat/KeepItSimple1000X750.jpg[/IMG]i want wood chassis just like the Leviathan Red Dragon i know that it will cost more but i don't care because i not only like good sound i also like good looking units, please let me know if for you the NC-1200 & SMPS-1200 was worth the extra cost Thank You. mracoustat@videotron.ca

Nsirkin,

Any comparisons of the nc1200 modules with your nc400s?

I assume that the nc1200s are a commercial brand, and if so do you mind sharing which one?

I have ordered 2 Veritas monoblocks from Merrill Audio. I expect to receive them by the end of October and will be able to directly compare them to the NC400s I assembled.

It's hard to imagine a better amplifier than the NC400s, IMO, but the attention to detail, component quality and case construction of the Veritas amps has me salivating!

To finish up, I just listened to my OPPO-95 playing SACDs directly into the NC400s and it is just the best I have heard in my room.

Nsirkin,

Thats great - I'll sure bet you are excited about the Veritas amps!

FYI, there was a bunch of discussion recently over on audiocircle and the few lucky owners of NC1200 amps (basically either the Merrill or the Atsah) are all reporting they sound much better than the NC400.

Interesting to see if that will be your impression too!
