Hypex NC252MP cautionary tale

[Multicore]

There is a definite difference in sound characteristics between all my components, because why wouldn't there be?

There would be if that is the purpose it is marketed for, e.g. tone controls, room compensation, etc. Apart from that, most hifi gear is designed for and achieves transparency, i.e. not changing the sound.

Why would there be a difference? Why should there be?

This reminds me of a particular speaker that is sold in both normal wood and enameled finish which is more expensive. The manufacturer claims they sound the same. How dare they. Don't they know anything about material resonance?

The signal linked below is recorded from the NC252MP output when it is loaded with (4.7ohm + 3mH)//2.2uF complex load. It is recorded directly from amp output, with no input signal. So, it is an output "noise". It is recorded in the 192kHz/24bit format and your system must be able to play such format.

The signal is NOT amplified, quite opposite is true. 0dBFS digital file corresponds to 49Vrms amplifier output. NC252MP max. output is about 32Vrms, so the signal is in fact 32/49 ratio attenuated. Try it and tell me what you hear.

Thank you, yes, it will be Cliped, won't it?
