    Does anyone have experience with these digital amps?

    I was looking for something with a lot of power to drive the woofers in my DIY active speakers and was originally looking at the Behringer A500 amp but have not heard great things about it so... How about these Hypex things?

    I've recently built (still tweaking) a UCD180 based amp.
    From what I have heard so far it has lots of potential:) I'm currently working on its input stage, if you do decide to buy one and its the UCD***AD version make sure its got the CRD's on the AD8620 outputs;)

    Yes, current regulator diodes, these are on the outputs of the AD8620, it seems not all AD version UCD's have them, mine didn't so I soldered some in myself, they had quite a big effect in my system.
    Theres a fair amount of upgrades you can do to these modules if your handy with a soldering iron:) I'm getting some very good sounds out of mine.
    They don't sound bad as standard but its certainly worth modding them
