Have a look at the boards then you tell me.
I know they are different. Why the LT ones would be better than the discrete solution?
No we listen at all volume levels. In order to know what an amp can do you need to hear it at all levels.
So I can tell which one you prefer while sitting in my couch 5000 km away.

Because the LT regs are better than their discrete solution. The signal path is much shorter as well.

I prefer the Purifi's hands down over any of the Hypex MP series. In fact for 200w and under I prefer the TPA3255/3251 based Icepower 100/200as modules. Cheaper, smaller, cooler, and better sounding.

Q why are they better
A because they are better
Are you trolling?

Show me an amp that measures better than this. If you happen to own an audio analyzer that is:

Professionals in the amplifier arena own equipment like what you see below. This way they don't need to talk out of their ass

It has been pointed out that you were only counting noise because of the 15 kHz test signal and 24 kHz measurement bandwidth.

The SNR of Purifi is 128.5 dB. Quite a bit more superior to yours of 115.8 dB.

So if a harmonic is at 30k are we going to hear it? I only care about what I can hear.

My measurement is THD+N not SNR.

Also that Purifi SNR is without a buffer. My amp can be driven to full output power with 4v input.
