Purifi Class D: Junk?


So, from the previous thread about high-end class D the Purifi module was brought up. I decided to get a cheap example from VTV, a simple stereo unit with a single Purifi module and matching Hypex SMPS. Standard input buffer. I got it in yesterday. First impression wasn't what I was expecting: weak, congested dynamics is what stood out to me. I expected greater expression through my ProAc D30Rs. The other problems such as poor soundstage, thin / boring character, etc, I marked up to needing burn-in before evaluating. So it's been 24 hours, I would still expect to get at least the high control / damping of high end class D and dynamic power, but it's just not present.

Could it be an impedance mismatch? Other manufacturers selling the Purifi with their custom input buffers are reporting 47k Ohms. VTV doesn't say in the manual or on the site. I checked the Purifi data sheet which reports...2.2k Ohms on SE???? That can't be right?? That's absurdly low! Am I reading the right spec? My preamp has an output impedance of 230 Ohms. Can someone confirm that the stock Purifi has this ultra-low input impedance?

Wow you need to look at the LM4562 a bit better than what your waffling on about.
Texas Instruments designed it to work it’s optimum between 5-17v, and from what i can find it works with +-12v with the Purifi
+-12v gives .00004thd +-17v gives .00003thd sweet      all in it.https://www.ti.com/lit/ds/symlink/lm4562.pdf?ts=1609274706414&ref_url=https%253A%252F%252Fwww.ti...
Using King Crimson's track to make a final evaluation ? Ridiculous.
Formantera Lady, from King Crimson's Islands LP; very nicely recorded. I play it at audio shows quite often as it can really show off a system!
To the OP:
Calling PuriFi "junk" because you don’t like something you bought that has PuriFi modules in it makes no sense. I bought some iced tea that tasted bad. Does that mean tea is junk? Water is junk?

You don’t like the amps you bought, understood. Please leave it at that. You now have a problem to solve, whether it’s with the amps you bought, with the vendor, with something else in your system, or just with system synergy. No use slinging mud -- it won’t help solve it.
