So im trying to figure out which class D amplifier to go for... I've been looking at these since im UK based:
Audophonics have a 2x NC500MP amp:

I gather that with the MP modules the power supplies are built into the module. So the modules are mains powered, hence the MP.
Nord have a 2x NC500 amp with 1 separate power supply:

Looks like NC500's need their own power supply.
They also have the same thing but where each of the modules has their own power supply and do not share one:
https://www.nordacoustics.co.uk/product-page/nord-one-nc500dmst
I have no idea what the benefit of this is...
Nord also have this NC502MP amp:
https://www.nordacoustics.co.uk/product-page/nord-one-se-mp-nc500-stereo-power-amp-in-silver
So the module both has it's own power supply and it is stereo so theres no need for 2 x mono modules.
I mean less circuitry is typically better since there are less things that can fail, less power, less heat. So the 502MP seems pretty good from that point of view. However I suppose it highly depends on the circuitry itself.
It has taken me a substantial amount of time to figure out the differences between all these amplifiers. It's been kinda fun researching it all though But im coming up short when it comes to the actual practical differences between these setups. Apart from cost and the case they come in. What would you guys go for? Or are there other options I haven't considered?
Im in the UK and was looking to spend maybe 900GBP, slightly flexible on this. I saw some people raving about Purifi modules but im certain I couldn't tell the difference and they're quite a bit more expensive than ncore based stuff.
