Much appreciated information @rvsixer!
I've seen the test by audiosience which wasn't very flattering. Still I don't think it'll be any worse than my old AV-amp. The thing that bothers me most is the possibility of background hiss at low volume and I think it would bug me too much.
Hypex make some very nice amplifier modules. The older UCD measured really nicely and the new Ncore might be even better? As you said, pricing isn't bad at least here in Europe.
However being on a tight budget I've been looking at used pro amps and trying to see if I can find some gem in good condition. There is a good looking QSC GX3 up for grabs. This seem to be a class B amplifier. Generally people seem to think these are good sounding but the fans is too noisy. So I'll probably do a fans swap if i end up getting this.
