Aesthetics are highly subjective, so I wont discuss the matter . Case has 4 pieces (front, back, chassis, 'sheath' cover) and you will notice that the modules are in contact with the raw material in order to improve heat transfer. It is an additional expense to us, but we chose to take it because it is highly effective. Not something everybody does.Thanks for posting the photo! As you seem to be open to frank feedback, I'll offer that I find the two-piece cases from March Audio easily more appealing than your six-piece case. However, I do consider your signal-sense feature a desirable one that I would make judicious use of. I think many members of this forum would be feeding one of these small-company Hypex amps with a DAC that includes volume control. Almost none of them include a 12v trigger output (Benchmark is the only one that I know of).
It would be nice to see a ASR test to confirm that the single-sided signal-sense circuit doesn't cause any channel imbalances.
You are spot on with the use case DAC -> power amp. In addition to simplifying the cabling compared to a trigger, this is what we had in mind when we implemented the feature.
This feature is transparent. As you can see below, channel B which detects audio, is cleaner than channel A. The waves on the noise floor are due to poor filtering of the ADC I am using for the acquisition, and I didn't use an external filter.
