Icepower Vs Hypex digital amplifiers. Which is best?

[dede]

Hi,

I ask for opinion on the 180 SMPS thread about it but now answer for now 🙁

And the price is light 😉

 

[bwaslo]

Has anyone done any comparisons between the Redrock SMPS6060-PFC and the Hypex SMPS180?

They don't appear to be interchangeable -- output voltages are different.

 

[dede]

They can provide it with +/- 45V outputwithout over cost .😉

there has been some previous discussion of the redrocks SMPS here. I think you can stipulate the rails voltage when you order. There is also a wiring diagram for Hypex connections.

... On the other hand, UCD are more end user oriented. At least I've never seen it in pro audio. ...

ArthurG,

I'm using Hypex since 2006 in my mastering studio, more and more sound engineers believe in hypex technology !

I have used a UcD180AD for two years, they are blameless. If you don't like the sound you have got used to other amp's colorations or your system doesn't sound good with a neutral amp, plenty of those around. These are amps you can build a system around. Haven't heard ICE but have owned a tripath which I killed by mistake (over voltage)
Cheers

You have tried to mod the Icepower amps right!? Have you tried to mod the brand new ASX2 icepower?!? If so, what did you do? And what happend?
