In Reply to: You have to differentiate models... posted by goryu on August 25, 2022 at 14:24:47:
... That's the ability to convert single-ended inputs to balance/differential inputs to the amp module. Lots of people have SE tube preamps, for example, that work better with this buffer than the Purifi or Hypex buffers.
In general Neurochrome designs and manufactures a range of amplifier components rather than finished products. Presently, however, they offer a couple of complete power amps based on their 'Modulus=286' amp module. One option is these modules with Neurochrome's own linear power supply, the other with a Connexelectronic SMPS.
NOT the 51st state, eh!?!
