Hypex Nilai 500

The mono blocks arrived, and I had to assemble it myself. The Diy assembly was not difficult, with these nilays you don’t have to solder anymore, in a few hours everthing was build the mono blocks where ready for use. What also is new, is the powerbutton on the front and the blocks don’t use many power when they are idle.

Remember: the previous hypex NCore modules where also used by NAD in the c298, which have very positive reviews. I replaced my old NCores by these upgraded Nilays,

I had a decision to make, in build there is a switch module, it means with a jumper you could choose the output power to low gain, mid gain, or high gain. With my Bryston preamp high gain was far too much, I chose low gain.

The result was a big step forward then my old NCores, much more stereo depth, and the lows sounded impressive

These mono blocks perform above my expectations, I am very happy with this improvement.
 
Any info on your build , PSU size, type etc, what kind of load do you have them driving .? Did you try increasing Sinks ..?

To make things clear, I opened it and took a picture. You see above the amplifier unit, and below the internal powersupply.
It does come with a 500W powersupply, It is 525W at 4 ohm and 260 at 8 ohm. I think, looking to all those capacitors it must be an LPS.
distortion is 0.0005% between 20 Hz and 20kHz
It does come with 1 balanced XLR input and a 12 Volt trigger.

Input sensivity is 12 V at low gain, 3.8 V at mid gain and 1.9 Volt at high gain.

size is 205 x 80 x 300 mm and it weighs 3.45 kg

I have them directly from the hypex factory. It is a bit confusing: the hypex site is only for professional businesses, consumers need to get it from diyclassd where I ordered it. Diyclassd is shipped from the same building as hypex.

Looks like MEPs SINAD worship breddas approve Hypex Nilai500DIY Amplifier Review | Audio Science Review (ASR) Forum
Definitely has some juice as it doesn't buckle into 2 ohms. That's some serious squeaky clean drive power vs load. Thought you were a HE/horns guy?
Twill be dead silent with 100+ db sensitivity systems, but 500+ watts?? Bit of overkill IMO. Of course, for non HE, just the ticket.
See yuh soon.

cheers
 
Yesterday audioscience review retested the Nilai. Originally he had a bit of noise pickup at 10 kHz, but he tested it with the top lid open.
After testing with the lid closed that noise was gone. Why does ASR measure an amp and post results while it was still open?

That having said, with this retest it is one of the best amps ever measured

Where is the "review"? I only see lots of measurements.
 
Scroll down. Although I have to agree that he is saying not much in his conclusion

Conclusions
It is clear Hypex is taking competition in class D amplifiers seriously responding with a DIY friend amplifier solution that has a ton of power and wonderful performance. While we could nitpick here and there, but in the larger context of the amplifiers out there, this is a superb offering of great performance and lots and lots of power.

FYI I don't have pricing for the kit. If someone has it, please post. I see online ads saying around $900 to $1,100 for a single channel.

I am happy to add Hypex Nilai500DIY amplifier and its companion PS500DIY power supply to my recommended list.

That's not a review, it's a closing statement after his testing results.
 
That is audioscience review. All about testing by amir alot of graphs to look smart and scientific and alot of followers. A comedian once said: the more complicated you talk, the more scientific people think you are.

Meanwhile, who is checking the test setup Amir is using? Such a lid, it is a matter of only push pulling. With this blunder I seriously have my doubts if these testers know what they are doing.

Having said that, I prefer this forum much better, people who listen and compare is much better then all those testing with these stupid SINAD scores.
