While NCore set an exceptionally high standard, Hypex’s continued pursuit of improvement ultimately led to Nilai, their most advanced Class D platform to date.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin-bottom: 15.0pt; box-sizing: border-box; text-decoration-thickness: auto; text-decoration-style: solid;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: 'Helvetica Neue',serif; color: #586c84; letter-spacing: .25pt;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"caret-color: rgb(88, 108, 132);\"\u003eKey elements of Nilai, most notably the improved loop filter, were subsequently applied to NCore to create NCore X. This refinement increased loop gain by 6 dB in the top two octaves, with additional gain below that range. The result gave designers greater flexibility to optimize performance while maintaining exemplary audio fidelity.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin-bottom: 15.0pt; box-sizing: border-box; text-decoration-thickness: auto; text-decoration-style: solid;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: 'Helvetica Neue',serif; color: #586c84; letter-spacing: .25pt;\"\u003eNCore X delivers more than 60 dB of error correction across the entire audio band, significantly reducing distortion from both the power stage and output filter. With more than 75 dB of loop gain, harmonic and intermodulation distortion are driven to ultra-low levels, and output impedance becomes essentially negligible. Compared to earlier generations, the X modules achieve roughly twice the noise reduction and a significant improvement in THD.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin-bottom: 15.0pt; box-sizing: border-box; caret-color: rgb(88, 108, 132); text-decoration-thickness: auto; text-decoration-style: solid;\"\u003e\u003cb style=\"box-sizing: border-box;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"box-sizing: border-box;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: 'Helvetica Neue',serif; mso-bidi-font-family: Helvetica; color: #586c84; letter-spacing: .25pt;\"\u003eWhy did we make the X Amplifiers?\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: 'Helvetica',sans-serif; color: #586c84; letter-spacing: .25pt;\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin-bottom: 15.0pt; box-sizing: border-box; text-decoration-thickness: auto; text-decoration-style: solid;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: 'Helvetica Neue',serif; color: #586c84; letter-spacing: .25pt;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"caret-color: rgb(88, 108, 132);\"\u003eOur goal was to give listeners the opportunity to add this exciting new technology to their systems as simply and affordably as possible.
