Hey, there are these things called specifications, and then there are independent confirmations of those via measurements such as what is found on this web site. This is the best source of info for decision making IMO.

Talk talk talk by some YT reviewer is worth less than a pile of poop. They can say anything they want. Usually talk about things that cannot be quantified. The whole HiFi Audiophile business is awash in these parasites.

There is very little point they are purely a NCXXXMP module in a case and connected, they have been reviewed many times in the past.
I'd have gone with an entirely separate brand if it it was me to avoid the VL or Value thing.

I would have called it Sud. Leaving Est for a Pro Audio brand and Ouest for something not thought of yet.

Is it possible / advisable to have in one chassis
1) miniDSP 2x4HD Kit ( just the DSP no housing )
2) Hypex 1 nos NC52MP ( 50 watts stereo / channel )
3) Hypex 1 nos NC252MP ( 250 watts stereo / channel )

Idea is less clutter and DSP and Amp in 1 box
regards

We don't have a solution at present. We just launched a Hypex based DSP solution with more to come.
I will look into it, we also are thinking about stocking the NC52MP its good.

Cheers The whole idea about putting this on the front is to do exactly the opposite, to differentiate this line with its Caldarella appearance to our normal line. And for that reason the MP series only has 2 lines to instantly identify it. I will play around with positioning. I'm also being swayed over to NV-L NVL appreciate all the input certainly help when there is only 2 of us.

But the dressed up NORD line should speak for itself. If the only differences are cosmetic, then really it's a matter of a "Premium" line verses a "Standard" line, not Standard verses Value. They are both "NORD" amps, but "Value Line" implies a product with inferior performance and quality.

Maybe having a different warranty between the two lines would be an attractive offer for customers.

I just placed my order. :cool: Pretty excited, to power my beloved KEF Q350s.

Presumably switching from a Vidar, which is fine in itself. I went ADCOM 545II -> Parasound 2125 v2 -> Vidar, with the Parasound being the terrible link. No complaints, but after 7 years, I'm ready to switch out the Vidar... I can use it on an older system instead of my 35 year old janky ADCOM at the country place.

Gonna sell the Parasound asap, when it comes out of service. Not likely to see much cash from that deal.
