1) From mention at AA, who wants to try these class-D boards? 400w/4ohm, relatively affordable. Anyone know much about the chipset?

Looks like an intriguing, affordable unit, especially if you have multiple amplifiers and sources, especially PC sources.
Thoughts? Check out the manual more than anything and some of the setup diagrams. Seems like it would be a neat, but extremely flexible passive solution.
