Found this video from September showing the internal design. I see 8 large transistors per side, and nothing that looks like large coils, so I would guess it is class AB or maybe G. In the middle of the chasses between some shielding plates is a plain cube which I would guess is the power supply. Given the size it may be a switching supply. It seems like a somewhat compact design but the size of the heatsinks and the number of output devices gives me hope that it has decent power output.
@Sophia Ann, can we have an estimation of the launch date...?

That's a good looking amp.

They posted videos of SGP1 prototype on their Facebook:
OK, I'm going to bump this thread. Don't know if this is a real product that will eventually be released or not (that previous post by bahamot sure makes it look like it is real). It is apparent now that Topping is coming out with a power amp of its own and more info seems to be coming on April 26. But that thread, which was kinda related to this one, has been closed because of too much FUD being spewed out by people too impatient to wait for real information. The Topping amp looks like it will be a bare-bones power amp (nothing wrong with that). However, this Soncoz amp, if it is real and will eventually come out, hearkens back to the day of beautiful power display meters, etc. Obviously, many of us want to know more. If it is real, I will patiently await more actual info. So, anybody in the know, just keep our appetites wet and eagerly anticipating additional input. A power amp (possibly like this) will be my next purchase without a doubt. Just have to wait until the right one comes along. BTW, it needs a 12V trigger, at least, if not a remote.

Pretty smart of them to focus on what people like to see. Once it launches I'm betting this product can be a huge success on looks alone
