January 29, 2023 – 10:30 CET – Live Stream Review – Three times Class D! Hypex, Purifi, ICEpower

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.

Check out the Livestream – January 29 – 10:30 a.m

I do not need them, I already bought a new class AB amplifier, which after passing through my hands sounds much better than when it arrived.

Only two files 24/48 FLAC. 30 seconds each: about 6+6 MB = 12 MB.

Looking for an alternate server or you send it to me and I will look for it. After few days, they are deleted.

[ Would not it be better to ask Alpha-Audio to share the original audio so that nobody has the excuse of YouTube compression?

Or do it again (without streaming), but only with the piano track and those two amps? ]

Thank you very much!!!

Nilai 500 is the best without any doubt.

I wrote my impressions at ASR forum:

Nilai vs Purifi (different volum, you need to adjust)

First track

Nilai: More detail, spatious. More neutral. Sweat. Smooth. More musical, credible…
Purifi: Voice predominant, more congestionated (vs Nilai). More bass, too much. Trebble more annoying.

If you do not have the Purifi, the choice is clear to me <- Trebble more annoying.

Second track (piano)

Nilai: I take my hat off! Wowww.
Purifi: Nope, much worse. Congested. I do not like!!!

Third track – agggggh, bad music :facepalm:

Nilai: Much better than Purifi. Same impression as with the first.
Purifi: Voice predominant, more congestionated (vs Nilai). More bass, too much. Without problem with trebble. Too much bassss.

In short: Nilai, among other improvements, has corrected the usual weakness of Class D amplification with high frequencies (real instruments, acoustic or electric).
