Nilai amp has quite the internal light show too…
I will embarrassingly admit I overlooked the tiny power switch and initially thought I have a DOA unit. so I totally agree . I initially thought it is some kind of a reset if some protection gets tripped. I also thought the power wire “maybe” could have been better?!? But probably sufficient…Finally, my only real complaint is the very small power switch on the front panel. I think it should be a nicer switch and an override provided for those who might power the amp via a smart power strip. If you have any other questions prior to Amir's review, just let me know!
My Makua has tons of lights inside too (Mola Mola is a brand from Hypex).
Picture is a bit worrisome though looking at free shielding wiressoundimports.eu has the 2 amp kits in stock now as well:

does not look like shielding to me, rather some filling strands... (non-conductive)Picture is a bit worrisome though looking at free shielding wires
Looks like coconut fibers or something like that,I never saw such thin copper for shield.does not look like shielding to me, rather some filling strands... (non-conductive)

it is certainly not coconut, but some kind of plastic fibre filler...Looks like coconut fibers or something like that,I never saw such thin copper for shield.
(you can tell by looking the other end of the cable):
Correct, it is insulation. There is no shield (or need for one).does not look like shielding to me, rather some filling strands... (non-conductive)
YES!!! The first live stream of this year! And we are going to make another great one! This time: 3 x NEXT GEN class D. The latest Hypex Nilai, the latest generation Purifi Eigentakt and a nice ICEpower class D amplifier. These are three power amplifiers that you can also make your own. In short: these are not to be missed!
Class D has rapidly become very mature. Where UCD still had some frayed edges, nCore was already quite a bit nicer. And Purifi Eigentakt and now its competitor: Hypex Nilai? Well… we are going to put them side by side, along with a less used one: the Danish ICEpower. In short: this will be a particularly interesting livestream to determine the position of Class D for once.
Seems that way. Look at Fig 3. But either way. Well well below “worrying” levels ;-)I have some "datasheet confusion":
on the forst page it is written: THD+N 0.00015%
later in the technical data table: THD+N 0.00050%
what's the explanation for that ? (THD+N measured at different power levels ?)
What next gen x3???January 29, 2023 – 10:30 CET – Live Stream Review – Three times Class D! Hypex, Purifi, ICEpower

what do you mean exactly ?What next gen x3???
Purifi is older and Ice Power is the 2016 NON Edge model.
Pity,they seemed like nice guys with measurements and everything...
what do you mean exactly ?
- the "nilai 500" is the latest from hypex
- the "EVAL3 1ET7040SA" is the latest from PURIFI
- the "700AS2" is out of the latest AS Series from Icepower
