Thanks!

I seem to remember (but it might be an Engram emplanted by evil Thetans) that the M33 was based upon a Purifi switching amp PCB.

I actually built a kit based on Hypex's OEM switching amp. NC122MP? IIRC.

I was doing R&D for a famous company, so I got access to the Hypex OEM catalog. I thought that it was charming in terms of sound, and a dyed-in-the-wool Analog Guy did a comparative listen against my utilitarian Parasound Zamp2.

My analog friend concluded that the Hypex build (case and power supply from Ghent Audio) did not at all sound "digital." He went so far as to say that the Hypex made the Class A/B Parasound sound "digital."

Ouchsies!

So, if "The Word on the Street" is correct, the Purifi module must sound fabulous.

Which, combined with other recent developments in high-end audio, such as Metamodal Thin Ply Carbon cone and dome material, and Purifi's (my words not theirs) "Constant Profile Area" woofer surrounds, might tempt me into declaring that we are in the young years of yet another Golden Age of Audio.

Especially when Danville's new Outboard DSP products get the attention of the loudspeaker industry.
