I would say “yes”. They’re driving my Thiel CS 2 2’s with a LOT of room to spare!

I was in a Hi-Fi shop in Albuquerque a few years ago with a friend and we were talking with a the salesman about some new streaming units, Class D amps and how things have changed since the 1970’s. I proceeded to make a JOKE about the green CD edge markers and he just said “yeah, that was a...

I built one of these as dual-mono amp and can confirm that the "lit LEDs" is normal behavior. As Walzingbear mentioned, output wires should "go into" the terminals the other way. On my build (after a forum member mentioned it), I went in and fixed it, but not sure how big a deal it actually...

Congrats!!! I am loving mine!!!

Just wanted to post a follow-up - after trying out a Topping E30 (had issues with unit not turning on and off properly) I repurchased this DAC from Amazon US and it works fine now with Roon using USB (and also for TV sound via the optical input). Very pleased!

You got me :-)

Sorry for late response - Ghent sells two cases for this application - one is 200 mm wide and this one is 300 mm. I opted for the larger case because (a) I think it looks better and (b) I thought heat might dissipate a little better in this case. You are right - there is some open space on the...

Thanks for the note - I can confirm that there no bare wires touching any components

Better?

Thanks for the comment - how would I do this? Is the issue the way the speaker cables are connected on opposite sides of the terminals? Or the length of the cables? I appreciate the input... Bob

I thought the group might like to see the finished product - Hypex NC400 Full Dual Mono DIY Build, using the Ghent 300mm case. BTW - I am not bragging, just for info :). I didn't like the binding posts that Ghent supplied, so I sourced some pure copper ones from AliExpress (took 3 weeks to...

Wanted a complete dual-mono setup. Also, Hypex recommends the separate power supplies in their documentation.

I bought this Ghent Audio case https://ghentaudio.com/kit/ncore-se-300w.html (I actually used eBay for mine, but I do not see a listing for the case right now). I then bought the Amps and Power Supplies from DIYClassD.com in The Netherlands (2) NC400s https://www.diyclassd.com/product/nc400/11...

Yeah - I guess I should have qualified what I said more precisely. It doesn't work with either DietPi or RoPieee as a Roon endpoint (my statement about Linux was too broad). I apologize for posting this in haste. I gave up and returned it after Harry @ RoPieee gave me a few suggestions, ALL...
