jantze Posted January 19, 2010 Report Share Posted January 19, 2010 I started to think about upgrading my HT and my new plan is to have an AV processor plus power amp. After searching for a while, I figured that Hypex might be a good choice as a power amp. What would be a good option here? A) 5 X UcD400HG with HxR Softstart module Exodus MCH Power Supply Transformer 115/230V x40V 1KVA 5 X UcD400HG with HxR SMPS1200 Plus of course heatsinks, case and other accessories. My current speakers (Infinity Cascade Model Nine, Three C & Three V) don't need that much power, but you never know when upgradetis hits you and UcD180HG with HxR costs only a bit less. So, what do you think? Should I look for something else or is Hypex a good choice compared to NewClassD for example? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cetoole Posted January 19, 2010 Report Share Posted January 19, 2010 I would go for the SPMS, and feel Hypex is probably about as good a choice as you have in the class D world. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jantze Posted January 19, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 19, 2010 And what about the imPULSE SMPS6060PFC? Could that be a good option? I would go for the SPMS, and feel Hypex is probably about as good a choice as you have in the class D world. SMPS is tempting for sure.

cetoole Posted January 19, 2010 Report Share Posted January 19, 2010 Looks like a pretty decent option, and one I was considering when I was thinking about going for the UCD400 for my poweramp needs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mypasswordis Posted January 19, 2010 Report Share Posted January 19, 2010 Ooh, are you moving onto speakers now as well? It's only a matter of time, really... well, and space. And funds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I only listen to music with my headphones. HT is for movies And my Onkyo 804 is pretty old Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
