While Class-D obviously brings the cost down by eliminating large heat sinks, the other big cost saver is using a switch-mode power supply as opposed to a big linear power supply. In these big A/AB amplifiers massive linear power suppliers are the majority of the cost.
Removing a ZERO from the price of amps

I mentioned a quote from Bruno on Computer Audiophile interview about a year ago saying the goal of Purifi is to remove a ZERO from the price of amps. Sounded very exciting a year ago and we are now getting close to getting this out to consumers.
A Benchmark AHB2 and one of these Purifi amps for me please.
