I saw a Mark Levinson No. 23.5 power amp for sale and read up on it, reviews of that time (decades ago) are super positive about the power, performance and capability of this power amp. I got to wondering how the newest (2023/2024) Class D amps that are smaller, less costly (some of them) and...

Hi amigos, I'm coming back to the forefront with a new project. This time I focused on the Sylph Audio FB100 module, based on a TPA3251 and an advanced implementation of the PFFB. Voltage Gain is factory set @ 14dB (5V/V) on this module. So I intended to couple it to my DAC SMSL D6s which has...

This is a review and measurements of the Anaview ALC0100-2300 amp module. It is a compact design delivering 2x50W into 4 ohms with a built in power supply, and was on sale from 2010. It is still on sale for EUR121 per unit (https://www.lautsprechershop.de/hifi/anaview_uebersicht_en.htm). At...

As mentioned elsewhere I've just upgraded to a pair of JBL 705Ps. To feed them I've assembled PiCorePlayer on a Pi4 with a HifiBerry SPDIF HAT. This feeds the AES input nicely. So it's an all-digital signal path. Or is it? Does anyone here have an insight into the internals of the 70x series...

Hi Amigos ) As promised, I remain faithful to my Diyer position ) After my dual Mono project "Bamboo" I return to the scene with a new project "Micro Bamboo" to pay tribute to Micro Audio and its audiophile grade SMPS630-SO PSU. (46V/13A or 51V/11,5A) Now that we know the measurements of the 3E...

It's that time of year again! I've been thinking about what I'd like to do audio-wise in 2024 and was wondering what others in the ASR community are thinking about. Here are my three "resolutions": 1) Try some cheap schiiiit In 2024, I plan to finally take the low-cost plunge and get a Class...

Hi people! I'm getting slowly my way in audioland. Had some upgrades an finally got that sound I like (for now). Setup is a Tv, optical, Nuprime dac-9, Nuprime AMG STA, RU connected copper cables, B&W 683 S2, old Rel quake sub and a big diy acoustic panel on the sealing. I would like to...

Mola Mola has been using NCore technology in the Kaluga amps for years, specifically a version of the NC1200. Since the Kula all-in-one integrated amp they have developed an update of their class D tech, which now they call Trajectum, and is also used in the standalone stereo power amp called...

Hi all, Newbie hear! Never had a stereo setup before (alway had portable speakers). Just bought my first stereo setup (below). My purchase was very cost/performance based. I.e - I am more interested in playing just music with with my receiver, but bought this 7.2 Pioneer receiver because it had...

Eversolo has teased a new product at the Shanghai International Smart Home Exhibition last week. It's a Class D power amplifier and if I can read it right the model name is AMP-F2. This will be the first amplifier from the company, which is a subsidiary of Zidoo. Their first few products...

Wondom AA-AB31471 1 x 30 Watt Class D Amplifier Board Review 1. Intro I wanted to have a small audio system for my holiday trip, not to depend on usual TV set sound available at the hotels and pensions. As a speaker I would take my small JBL Control 1 Pro, so there was a question of the...

New tech from ICEpower announced. The prototype is already around SINAD 102 (1kHz 5W into 4 ohms) with ~300W (1% THD+N of 1kHz into 4 ohms) and no rise around the knee. And with 6.67 kHz riding along with the 1 kHz, the old limitations of HCOM seem to have been solved...

Folks, anyone know of a class D with an HDMI input? Something not from BluSound?

Hypex NCx500 specs: - 700w @ 2ohm (per channel, peak) - 700w @ 4ohm (per channel, peak) - 380w @ 8ohm (per channel, peak) You have a choice of two configurations (both at the same price): - The default configuration uses the onboard stock Hypex buffer stage, which renders our Low/Med/High...

Nord has released a new range of Hypex NCore MP series amps with great prices using more affordable cases. "Our new Value-Line range of lower priced amplifiers. Built to compete with the budget box shifters offering a no frill amplifier with the same sonic performance of our standard range...

I had a bit of an experience in ordering and getting these amp kits assembled and working. The amp modules themselves seemed to have been damaged in shipping (vibration caused several caps legs to fatigue via vibration and break off). Hypex (and my retailer, Deer Creek) did a great job taking...

So, I got a new class D amp (TPA3255) to replace my old AB amp, all in all I think it sounds much better than the AB amp, but I have one big gripe with it. I noticed this without listening for it, compared to the AB amp it makes music faster, like there is no space between one note and the...

I'm wondering if the analog inputs on the AO200 bypass its built in dac? All of the marketing material for the AO200 calls the unit a "Digital Amplifier," but that would imply that every signal going through the amp is converted to digital before amplification, is there a way to test if the...

Does anyone here on ASR own or have listened to a system connected with the Primare I15 MM? I have been eyeing this amplifier because it uses the Class D power and it looks and ticks some of my boxes. I was wondering if anyone can tell their own experience with this product and if they would...
