I was hoping for something similar to compare to p.11 on this: https://www.diyaudio.com/archive/blogs/alexcp/attachments/2245d1486826701-ncore-based-power-amplifier-nc400_04xx.pdf Link to comment

Class D amplifier design, by default, causes problems with REL Subwoofers. Look at the REL page and look up about hooking up Class D amplifiers. https://relsupport.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/115004486607-Class-D-Amp-Connection-Methods About 10 years ago or more Rel addressed this with a cable they include. Having said that, there are plenty of other reasons to avoid Rel (like spontaneous combustion). Link to comment

They take a few hundred hours to break in, longer than usual, so patience in the first couple of months until they sound their best. Extended return period? Teresa 1 Link to comment

Not being a hobbyist I'm looking for a plug and play solution. I've considered separate components, but there doesn't seem to be many sub $1000 options for class D amplifiers. Add the cost of a DAC/Pre and I'll be well over what I want to spend (< $1000). For my needs, I am seriously considering NAD's C338. Class D efficiency with a DAC built in and Chromecast as a bonus. I think I could live with that for the next 30 years (or until I die, whichever comes first). The Ncore kit is very very simple. Even someone as inept as I am can do it. If you can turn a screwdriver you can do it. Your savings will be considerable. (You could also just pay some local kid a few bucks to do it for you.) Link to comment
