Indeed and it also depends on the rest of the setup. Purify is a big improvement over Ncore. Next to this, I allways wonder how objective is the person who does the measurements. Are there more tests who have the same outcome ? Is it a controlled environment ?
Actually Purifi is not a big improvement. It is the next evolution of the hypex design with improved measurements. The improvements on the best day, with the best equipment, the best sources, quietest room, and perfect hearing, may possibly be slightly audible in some cases.
In the implementation by NAD, the M28 has worse measurements than the M27. You said you wanted more power for your speakers, the M28 puts out less, but only about 1db.
There is nothing wrong with purchasing the latest and “greatest” because you want it, but please don’t make excuses or play games (i.e. the measurements may be biased or rigged) to justify your purchase. Doing so just makes you look bad and wastes everybody’s time. If you want to do a level matched, blind test between the two, we welcome that. If you want to wax poetically about imaginary PRAT differences and how your system has been transformed, there are many other forums that enjoy those discussions and you will get the feedback you want.
