I own ICE 1200as2 and purifi. I have heard Ncore 400 and Ncore 500. My order of preference most to least is Purifi, ICE, NCore 500, NCore400.Purifi is detailed refined with excellent damping for strong clear bass. I think its the best class D available now. ICE is detailed but slightly less refined than purifi, less firm bass and unable to handle <3 ohm load. ICE has a very relaxed and confident sound and is bulletproof troublefree technology. I recently upgraded from Purifi to Denafrips Thallos which completely blows away all the class D amps Ive heard. Another league, true high end with low price. Listening is so much fun again and I feel after all these years of system building I finally have the sound I have always heard in my mind. Im buying another one to biamp. But I was very happy with Purifi before I got sabotaged by unexpected thallos audition. I didn't know that my system was this good and was just waiting for a good enough amp to bring out the full potential.
