It would be nice though to read somebody's results who has compared something like a UCD based amp against a well known commercial or diy classA or AB amp
I'm still tempted to try out a pair of UCD400's , all I want is to build something that sounds better than what I currently have rather than something else that will just add to my collection of tried and now not used stuff

Some people have reported comparisons. I compared a slightly modded UcD180 with my Accuphase E407, the UcD180 won easily. UcD has a very open and dynamic sound, completely free from distortion, very good imaging and extremely low noise level.
If you have never tried Class-D, give it a try and I'm quite sure you will be happily surprised.
Best regards

I too have a nice amp3 setup, use it on my computer. I have built a UcD 400AD based amp as well. They both have the same rightness about them. The UcD is a whole level up from the amp 3. All the attributes are even more apparent with less dynamic compression, less distortion and real “kick butt” bass. Bottom line, the UcD sounds more like real music, is far more forgiving of various speaker loads and is just plain more enjoyable to listen to. To get this level of performance the AD version with input cap replacement is necessary.

At least no one told me that I was mentally impaired, and had an IQ around 50.
And at least you have a job.................

I do have a little Amp3 class T amp which sounds good for such a cheap tiny unit.
Obviously the UCD's are much more powerful but I hope the sound is as good, hopefully better than the Tripath TA2021 based amp3.
