My babys arrived yesterday!
I just had to open them while still at work to check if everything was in order and to see if my preferred gain setting was considered. I was surprised as the build quality is top notch. The wiring is flawless and they meticulously took care of the heat management with pads and offset placing of the vents so the air passes from the bottom front to top back. Remember: the DIY kit of the Hypex just left the parts in there without real connection to the case. My module ran pretty hot compared to the case itself when I checked it
They are pretty long compared to Hypex NC400 DIY amps which are wider and shorter.
As for the first hours of listening, my (maybe full placebo) verdict: they are noticable more transparent than the Hypex amps, "smoother" as I call it. The reason for this might also just be that I can drive my SMLS SU-9N far louder (at level 80) and getting SINAD for free due to the reduced gain.
The SMSL DAC with the max Vrms of 4,8 is more than enough to even drive my inefficient Nubert speakers (85dB/1W) to huge levels, including a bass boost/loudness curve.
For now, I can wholeheartedly recommend these bad boys. It's endgame amp wise. Though I don't like the bright light at the front of the amps when they are turned on. I might put black tape over it sooner or later haha. Here are some pics.
Edit: Oh, an no coil or capacitor noise whatsever. Also no noise in the signal itself. It's absolutely silent and clean.
