I Would like to DIY an amplifier (no special requirements) but im not sure what the difference is between these two kits. Which one will sound/perform better, does the Toroidal power supply make a difference in relation to sound/power? They are both Class D however kit A only supports 200wpc @ 4 Ohm load, I don’t believe it will support an 8 Ohm load. Kit B supports both 4 Ohm & 8 Ohm (and bridged) loads but costs slightly more. What are the pros and cons to each kit? any other amp kits I should consider under $500.
Kit A consists of the following parts: all parts via parts-express approx $300.00
200asc Board with power: https://www.parts-express.com/icepow...9101000a24060b
200ac Board: https://www.parts-express.com/icepow...9100fc0a24060b

500asp https://www.parts-express.com/icepow...9001040a240614 500w @ 4 Ohm, 100w @ 8 Ohm $311.52 ea
Kit B https://www.classdaudio.com/sds-250-...ifier-kit.html $325.00
Add $100 for a case
the SDS Series amplifiers have a balanced XLR input stage (as well as the single ended RCA inputs). The SDS also has gain control for each channel.
