So it would seem Nilai is new #1 class D module
Would be nice to see some actual user reviews as all we have at present is the marketing copy of the manufacturer.

In 4 ohms the Nilai500 is below the 1ET7040SA all the way, and only loses at the knee of 1ET400A but has more power. So yes I would say Nilai500 is very competitive, tied if not better than the Purifi offerings.The noise and distortion of the Purifi 1ET9040BA should be even lower.
Still, it’ll probably be more expensive. It is nice to have choices

New Hypex Nilai500DIY modules )
Hi amigos, Seems that Hypex is full of nice touches this year) After the NCOREx technology , here the Nilai500DIY for DIY market ) Measurements seem promising checkout : The THD+N at 100W in 4 ohms is 0,00015% from 20 – 20.000Hz, :cool...www.audiosciencereview.com
I said 1ET9040BA, not 1ET7040SA.
where is the info about a 1ET904BA?
There is nothing publicly available. People (like me) meeting the Purifi team at the Munich high end were told that the noise would be 8uV.
I see. Without anything published it is hard to make any meaningful comparisons to the Hypex Nilai500...Doesn't seem like Purifi has a dedicated ps either, while Hypex has something for the Nilai500 that looks quite nice....Guess we will have to wait.
I thought so as well but the NCoreX and Nilai really surprised me, in a positive way. Looks like Bruno left good lessons behind, and extra welcome news after their founder passed away as well. Great to see that the team is still carrying the torch without letting it fall.Hypex is larger and have had a longer time to develop a complete line of products. But without Putzeys they have lost the real engine of their development.
Aw, I was enjoying being swept up in the hype until I read this postFrom the AudioXpress link:
"As Hypex makes it clear (see interview) this is not the company's latest NCOREx technology which was announced last month. In fact, Nilai is a completely new amplifier technology. And as such, it is 10 times better than the original Ncore!
"We are extremely excited to announce this completely new Nilai Class D technology and a completely new amplifier module, the Nilai500DIY, for the DIY community. We have taken our exciting control-loop topology to a whole new level resulting in an immense performance upgrade compared to Ncore. The overall performance has increased by not less than 10 times!", says Hypex."
And silly old AudioXpress jumps on the company-driven hype bandwagon! Giddy up, you absolute clowns!
10 times better. Wow. Amazing. Let's see, shall we?
10 times better output power? Nope. Not remotely close.
10 times better signal to noise? Nope.
10 time less residual noise? Sorry.
10 times the frequency response/bandwidth? Not even near that.
10 times the warranty? No. What warranty? Do you even get a warranty?
10 times the hype and drivel? Yes! absolutely!
...the Dutch company says, is a completely new unique amplifier module that sets a new benchmark for high-end audio applications.
Benchmark for what? Self promotion?
I'll let you decide that...
Beyond improving SINAD, which at this point it is a matter of engineering excellence and pride, what else can be improved for the end user? I guess that at this point, the advantages can be boil down to size, power consumption at idle (reduced) and a bit extra efficiency on an already efficient system. Not that I´m complaining, I´m just wondering.
Does newer designs like this actually help on crosstalk separation or is that up to the quality of the final assembly in stereo (or more channel) implementations?
Then that depends on the quality of the implementation on a multichannel amp, not the amp module itself. Thanks for the answer!Crosstalk? They are mono modules.
If you want to kill crosstalk completely just make monoblocks.
Even for switching amps?Crosstalk is a solved problem even in 1980
Depends. In real world use? I'm gonna risk it and say yes.Even for switching amps?

There were almost no switching amps in the 80's . And they had much more important problems to solve than the crosstalk.Depends. In real world use? I'm gonna risk it and say yes.
Problem is not the power supply, it is the switching noise of the amplifier from one channel contaminating the other(s) channels. It is solved problem today for most amplifiers but it took some time.Use a power supply that is both regulated and based on a synchro rectifier.
