New to Class D / Purifi - thoughts before I purchase, details below


I am considering this amp; your comments, experience, and insights are appreciated. 
Stereo Purifi Audio 1ET6525A Dual Mono Rack Mount Case Amplifier
Stereo Input Buffer: VTV Buffer WIth Staccato opamps

It will be combined with a pair of Totem Forest tower speakers and Gustard DAC x26 Pro. Thank you! 

(I am replacing my vintage B&K Ex 4220 amp, died)

I went from Bryston 4bsst(loved) to Orchard Audio Starkrimson ultra which uses Ganfet. Bigger soundstage, very resolving and of course super tight bass. I even went the DIY approach and saved $$$. Quad Artera pre, Denfrips Pontus dac , Revel be228 speakers. Good luck and enjoy the music!

I have the VTV Purifi 7040 dual mono amp with the Sparkos op-amps and Furtech wiring. Lots of current for my difficult KEF and Magnepan speakers.  Rogue pre-amp and Denafrips Pontus DAC.  Quite revealing, tight, and big soundstage. Crap recordings, typically of the pop genre, can be annoying at times.  At the other end of the end of the spectrum I have times when I have been brought to tears the music sounded so beautiful.

Buckeye is the top tier of Class D amps today. And the service/support is unparalleled. 

I’m a big fan of class D amps, having had great sonic success with amps using ICEPower or NCore modules (I have 3 such amps at this time). However, I have no personal experience with Purifi modules, so can't comment on that.

It’s nice that you have options to choose the opamps for the input buffer. I’ve had great success with Sparkos SS3602s in other applications; and people rave about the larger, more expensive SS2590s. I recommend that A. you get this amp with the imput buffer using opamps; and B. that you select either Sparkos option.

And if it were me, I’d choose pure copper for the internal wiring. It’s just a personal preference: both silver wire (or combo silver on copper) and many class D amps tend toward the neutral, flat, unengaging sound profile. Copper helps push the sound into foundational warmth and better tone/timbre, in my experience.
