    Jullie hebben in het verleden een vergelijk gedaan tussen oa de Purifi eval1 en de Hypex Nilai.
    Nu heeft Purifi ondertussen ook weer nieuwe modules uitgebracht.
    Hebben jullie een idee hoe een Purifi eval6 zich verhoudt tot de Hypex Nilai?

    Ben me namelijk aan het oriënteren voor een nieuwe klasse D dual mono eindversterker. Speel nu met een Nord met 1 voeding en de oudere Purifi 1et400a modules.
    Speakers zijn Acoustic Energy Corinium en een NAD M12 als DAC/voorversterker

    We haven’t tested the Purify Eval6 (yet).

    Hi Jaap,

    Thanks for another interesting review. Inspired by your video tutorial on building your own amplifier, I bought the Soundimport purifi eval6 kit and it sounds great. More recently I bought directly from Purifi audio the luxery front end for the 1ET6525SA Amplifier Modules and that was a clear step up in sound quality.
    In short, you reviewed the original 1ET400sa modules, but in the meantime Purifi – like Hypex – has made interesting steps forwards. Maybe time to revisit them, e.g. the Eval 9 stereo or Eval 10 mono amp kits?

    Best regards,
    MarcelB
