RE: Modern Class D is pretty amazing and.....

> .and you don't have to buy Class D amps from luxury megabuck brands. 99.9% of them all use the same off-the-shelf modules.

But most of the Ebay-type vendors build their amps using the cheap Eval(uation) boards that are more intended for DIYers or others who want to evaluate the technology. The clue is in the name!

The bigger brands that regard their reputation as important, tend to build modules under licence after working with Hypex or Purifi, etc to maximise its performance and matches their own requirements - house sound, etc. Also these respected brands tend to use better power supplies, sockets, case, etc so in my view, it is worth spending more for a good brand's version of, for example the Purifi Eigentakt Class D technology. I believe NAD and T+A build under Purifi license using upgraded components.

You get what you pay for!
