Product details

Hypex Nilai500DIY 2CH Nilai® 2x250W Stereo Amplifier

The Nilai® technology is the latest amplifier technologie from Hypex and the long-awaited successor to the acclaimed NC400 Ncore amplifier. This new class D technology boosts all previous achieved performances to a next level. The Nilai500 stands among the top of our amplifier module technology.

Besides impeccable performance, this kit features everything you need to build your own Nilai stereo amplifier. The main parts are the Nilai500 amplifier modules, PS500 power supply and the DIY Monoblock case. The amplifier modules and power supply combination enable the latest and best performance available from the Nilai technology.

This amplifier can deliver all its power from as low as 2 ohm impedance combined with ultra low distortion, very low idle loss, and very noise levels. Chief distinguishing features are flat frequency response irrespective of load impedance, nearly frequency independent distortion behaviour. This results in performances such as the max output power of 300Wrms at 2 ohm, a Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR) of 134dB and astonishing distorting level of 0.00015%.

An amplifier is only as good as the power supply it contains. In this Nilai500 DIY stereo amplifier, the power supply providing the power for the amplifier is a compact, high power, highly efficient PFC power supply, including standby power supply. Including these properties and carefully selected high-grade power supply components makes this technology ideal for powering the Nilai500 amplifier modules.

The aluminum enclosure houses the Hypex Nilai500 amplifier modules and power supply, the best thermal material for audio devices. The in- and output connections are provided through high-quality gold plated binding posts and XLR-chassis from Neutrik. The power supply can operate from both 110 and 230 VAC mains voltage due to it's universal mains input.

Along with the main parts, everything else you need to build a powerful high-quality stereo amplifier is included. Including an easy to follow instruction manual which gives you the ability to realize a high end stereo amplifier at a fraction of the costs. Assembly only requires proper positioning, around 60 bolts to be tightened and some connectors to be clicked. Anybody comfortable with a screwdriver can build one of the best amplifiers available within just 30-60 minutes.

wou wat een versterker de hypex nilai 500 diy ik heb heel veel versterkers gehad in mijn leven klasse a ab versterkers buizen versterkers noem maar op maar deze versterker toen ik hem aansloot wist ik niet wat ik hoorde zoveel diepte plaatsing en een enorme sound stage en je hoort alle details veel beter en wat een snelheid en wat een enorme kracht in het laag alles is zo gecontroleerd echt top ik heb hier geen spijt van ik ben blij dat ik d...

Relatief vlot en netjes in elkaar te bouwen, ziet er allemaal heel netjes en verzorgd uit met duidelijke handleiding! Geluidstechnisch in het begin erg vermoeiend om naar te luisteren, het geluid was scherp, geen midden en teveel (ongecontroleerd) laag. Gelukkig werd het na een paar dagen beter, veel beter! Topversterker voor niet teveel geld!

I am very satisfied with the Nilai stereo power amplifier. For me, it is audibly much better than the NCore. I was looking for an amplifier that had enough power for my fully electrostatic speakers. My desired reference was my single-ended triode, which I use with highly sensitive speakers (VOTT) with very high efficiency. The finesse, the presence, the foundation and the musical flow with the Nilai are almost at the level of my triode power am...

Easy assembly thanks to the instructions and online video tutorial. In some passages it is better to have four hands. The sound meets my expectations. Very silent. Highly recommended

I tested this amp. in comparison to my Benchmark AHB2 which powered my Arendal 1723 TowerS THX (Source Gustard R26). The result: I sold my Benchmark. The sound of the Nilai is also precise in the midrange/treble, the bass is very fast, no heaviness with a little less impact than the AHB2. It is also more musical, with a certain fluidity compared to the AHB2. It costs 2.5 times less, consumes and heats less... In this price range, it has no comp...

I have tested the kit and to be honest. in comparison to my 2 other amps they are a way different level. The kit was nice to build. The parts are of high quality. Speakers Tested. Wharfedale Elysian 4, Kef R3 meta and R5. I compared them to: Marantz cinema 50 and Cambridge CXA81 My result was: Nilai500 > Cinema 50 >> CXA81 Lively dynamic and very effortless sound and well balanced. It feels like they are happy to be paired with w...

The assembly instructions provided in the manual, coupled with the comprehensive ASM video, ensured that the building process was a breeze, leaving no room for concern." As for the sound quality, it's worth mentioning that the amplifier effortlessly delivers ample power without a hint of noticeable distortion or coloration, staying true to its intended performance. In essence, this amplifier is a fully transparent and load-independent power...

Absolut Perfekt !! Aufbau in relativ kurzer Zeit möglich. Die Anleitung dazu ist klar strukturiert und hat ausreichend Bilder der Einzelteile und Aufbauschritte. Wenn man konzentriert und sorgfältig daran geht, hat man das Gerät in einer Stunde zusammengesetzt. Der Klang ist unglaublich dynamisch und klar in jedem Frequenzbereich und das auch bei sehr hohen Pegeln. Es gibt irgendwie keinerlei Eigenklang / 'Sounding', den man dem Vers...

Excellente versterker met een prachtig en strak geluid. De assemblage nam bij mij ongeveer 2 uurtjes in beslag en was leuk om te doen. Op youtube instructie filmpjes gevonden en samen met de meegeleverde montage handleiding kan er eigenlijk niets mis gaan. Het opscheppen over je eigen amp bouwen is natuurlijk een leuk extraatje. De vormfactor is een belangrijke factor geweest in de beslissing geweest deze amp aan te schaffen. Klein, licht en...

The delivery was fast and it took me 1.5 hours to assemble. The processing is at a good level, but what pleasantly surprised me was the sound. I don't want to describe my subjective opinions, but I literally sat on my ass. Absolutely clean, musical and faithful presentation. Nilai combined all the positive sound attributes in one box. In this price category, and dare I say it, even in many times more expensive competition, it is an unprecede...
