Best bang for your bucks :-)
Now this really is an extraordinary product, both Audiophonic's housing and Hypex' amplifier are way beyond the qualitiy that you can expect in this price range, if there is some famous brand label attached to the front... I particularly appreciate the switchable RCA/XLR inputs, as I use this power amp in a configuration that allows multichannel (R+L preamp output of my AVR via RCA) and pure stereo (via XLR). Now this stereo setup, which exists of the minimum number of components, is what really blows my mind. Source is an Eversolo DMP-A6, which can also serve as preamp and has balanced output, directly connected to the HPA-S600NCX via high quality XLR cables (of Funk Tonstudiotechnik in Berlin, Germany, who produce absolutely fantastic quality cables for nearly all audio applications) which serves to a pair of ambitious middle class speakers with 89dB efficiency. All this in a very small dedicated listening room, which does not allow for a proper bass reproduction. What should I say? The HPA-S600NCX delivers a precision in bass in this acoustically unfavorable environment that not even an absolutely high-end amplifier (an ASR Emitter, that a friend had lent me for testing) could deliver. I can only assume that the extremely low output impedance / high damping factor does the trick. Anyway, it's on a level which I never would have expected. As also the clarity of sound and the realistic performance over the rest of the frequency range is first class, I can highly recommend this amp even for high-end setups. For the fun of it: If you want to enjoy the potential of this little box, listen to Yello's "The Expert" from the "Touch Yello" album at a high listening level - I'm sure you will be amazed, too :-)

Great amp, Great company
Needed more headroom for my Arendal 1723 monitor s speakers. Tried Fosi ZA3 300 watts per channel using monoblocs and sound improved significantly. Decided to jump to 600 watts per channel and landed on your website. Now I’m where I need to be. I was concerned about ordering from USA but pleasantly surprised when my order arrived within 3 days! Shipping was even faster than ordering in US. Build quality is fantastic and sound keeps improving with break in. This is the last amp you will need if you’re looking for more power to drive speakers with lower sensitivity. All the nuances in the recording can now be heard at volume levels that are not ear splitting. Thanks for a great product and great buying experience..

Really the precision, control and power is out of this world. The only problem I have is that the 12V trigger in/outs accept only mono 3.5 jacks, if you try to use stereo jack it creates ground loop problems. This was not a problem with the nc502mp aps that I have.

a real beast
Hypex NCX500 doesn't need any presentation about its quality....
this amplifier is really well built more than what's visible from site images. Bindings are really well done.
The only note is about OPA: perhaps a couple of OPA1612 would like to be a fantastic upgrade.
Super suggested buy!!!

Fantastic!
This power amp is just absolutely fantastic! The build quality is much nicer in real life than what the pictures can express! I picked this NCx500 based version over the Purifi 1ET400A, because the Hypex module is more or less exactly the same module, but improved on. The sound quality is amazing, the power and control is almost unimaginable! I can highly recommend!
