Yes I hear these amps on a daily basis, I manufacture them
. Although I confess I haven't heard a nc400 in a long time.
The NcxxxMP modules all tonally sound
extremely similar. Power is the differentiator. They are lower performance modules below Nc400, 500 and 1200.
The Purifi sounds better than 400, 500 and 1200 IMO. However it's not that simple. If you have evil low impedance low sensitivity speakers you may need the drive capability of the 1200. In that circumstance the 1200 may well sound better.
