Unyielding Commitment to Build Quality
Craftsmanship isn't just a word to us – it's a principle. At Apollon Audio, we understand that the essence of unmatched sound clarity lies in the delicate balance between superior internal mechanics and a resilient exterior. Our amplifiers, testament to this belief, are securely housed within a durable, high-grade aluminium chassis that exudes an understated elegance. More than just a pleasing exterior, this focus on build quality is our promise that every purchased amplifier is built to offer unwavering, high-caliber performance, year after year. Dive into a world where build meets brilliance, and sound meets sophistication.
Balanced & Single-ended Input
with Gain Selection
The signal to the amplifier can be provided by using XLR balanced or RCA single-ended cables. The custom input buffer board offers 4 different input gain settings levels.
"Op Amp rolling" Feature
Our custom input buffer board by default comes with the very advanced OPA 1656 operational amplifiers. But if you would at any time wish to change the sound characteristics of the Apollon NCx500 ST amplifier you can do so with simply exchanging the op amp (so called Op amp rolling). Our custom input buffer board comes with a DIP8 socket that enables you to attach a wide range of DIP8 compatible operational amplifiers on the market.
Ultra Low Distortion
The Apollon Audio NCx500 stereo amplifier delivers exceptional performance with its ultra low distortion (THD+N – 0.0002 %) as a result of the Hypex NCOREx NCx500 amplifier module combined with our custom input buffer boards.

Shipping to the US was easy and packaged well. The amplifier is great looking in person. The titan black color is just how it looks in the picture. The dynamics and sound quality is unmatched. The best amplifier I’ve ever heard, hands down. Allows my speakers to stand out! Thanks Apollon!
Jason (verified owner) –
Best amp I have used. Honest, seemingly endless power with my ML Aerius speakers. Bass control is iron-fisted.
Andrei (verified owner) –
Stellar amplifier that has brought life to Amphion speakers. Nothing beats Apollon!
Naomi (verified owner) –
Best match for my amphion monitor speaker, and my best sound quality for me.
Thomas (verified owner) –
Awesome amp, small, very powerful and energy efficient. Running in lowest gain setting, can drive my electrostats easily. I can only recommend Apollon and the NCx500ST!

The Apollon NCx500 is a notch up in sound quality compared to the NC500’s I bought from the competitors, and Apollon’s quality of parts and build quality is the best in the class D industry. Is there an amplifier several multiples the price of this that sounds better? Thanks Tibor for producing such a fantastic product!

A dream combo with the RME ADI-2 Pro.

Tibor,
I’ve spent a few hours listening to some old familiar tracks with your amp in my system. I am beyond thrilled with the result. I never imagined my gear could sound so good. Thanks for producing such a high performance amp at such an affordable price. Bravo! And again… thank you!
Sincerely,
Paul B.

Tibor & the Apollon Audio Team,
I cannot stop listening to music now that I’ve hooked up my Apollon Hypex MCx500 amp to my KEF LS50 Metas!
It’s like I’m listening to everything again for the first time. So many details, such holographic soundstage, and such depth/speed!
Though I initially thought 600 Watts into 4 ohms would be overkill for these little speakers, I now understand how much they come alive with this much current!
They are like new speakers entirely. My “desktop system” just got leveled up several rungs.
Could not be happier! A+++

Fantastic value for money. I have owned a couple of really expensive power amps over the years. Two Mcintosh and one Primare. I miss nothing! Completely black background, completely noiseless and completely neutral with amazing power. Forget all myths about class d being light/thin. Sounds fantastic with my Focal Utopia Scala V2.

Amazing amplifier with a great sound. Very well built. Highly recommended. Delivery was very quick and Apollon are a very efficient and helpful team to talk to.
Many thanks.

A pure dream of an amplifier!
David H. (verified owner) –
I have several amplifiers. A Wilsenton tube amp and a Parasound. The Apollon will be in the main system. It’s so clean and effortless especially at higher power levels. It covers all genres of music quite well. My other amps sound different and will remain in my collection for now. I’ve rolled several opamps and allows flexibility for tuning. I love the weight or lack of as the other amps are so heavy. The future is here.

Very happy with my new toy ! I really like the looks, the build is solid, the features I need are there (12V trigger, easily selectable gain, RCA/XLR selection) and the sound is absolutely gorgeous. I used to have a nice Topping D70Pro Sabre DAC between the streamer and the Apollon amp, feeding the latter with 4V balanced (XLR), but I realized I really couldn’t hear the difference between that and just feeding the amp directly 2V unbalanced (RCA) from the WiiM Pro Plus, so the DAC is now retired 🙂

I’ve bought it as a more compact substitution for my previous power amp Audiolab 8300XP and am very pleased with the look & sound. More than enough power to drive a pair of M106 Revels and in conjunction with a good DAC it’s a crystal clear sounding combination.

I purchased a NCx500 ST from Tibor and I am more than happy with it. It\’s beautifully made, really well engineered and sounds amazing. It\’s, without any doubt, the best sounding amp I ever had.
Tibor was really communicative and helpful during the whole ordering process.
I can absolutely recommend Apollon Audio and their products.
John (verified owner) –
Very impressive build quality and sound for the price. Outputs enough power for my Salon2’s to really shine and maintains crystal clear sound at all levels.

After four months of ownership I’m very happy to report that the Apollon NCx500 ST is nothing short of brilliant! I have multiple amps here, of various vintages and topologies, and they *all* produce some level of audible hiss on my big JBL\’s tweeters, and some even do with the much less efficient KEF LS50s. Not the Apollon. It is silent. Completely silent! That alone is incredibly impressive, but the power and neutrality you\’d expect from the latest Hypex modules is there in spades as well. The assembly work and parts quality is fantastic – so much better than the UK builders in my view – and Apollon remains competitive on price even when factoring in UK import duty. Make no mistake, the NCx500 ST is likely a big upgrade on typical studio power amps from Bryston, Crown, Yamaha and the like. It\’s also compact, cool running, and affordable enough to form the heart of a high-end hi-fi set-up (if you\’re looking at \”big brand\” Class D power amps, honestly I\’ve demoed many of them and they all had flaws not present in the Apollon unit). Tibor was very helpful in answering some important pre and post-purchase questions. And in conclusion it\’s just a question of when, not if, I\’ll be placing another order with Apollon!

I love this little amplifier from the first tunes on. Clear, neutral and noiseless! Detailed as hell but never stressful.
To be honest, it discovers poor recordings and thus
Is some sort of unforgiving, but that helps to avoid such recordings, I love it!
The only issue I have, are the feet. Those little plastic knobs does not fit the craftmenship of this device! Replaced them immediately.
Get\\\’s unusually hot even without load? Hope that will cause no problems. I used an Icepower driven amplifier before, that always stayed cool.
Have fun and thanks!

After using it for nearly a year, I can definitely recommend the Apollon Hypex NCx500 ST NCOREx! The quality and overall design have convinced me. In addition to that, some friends with really expensive amplifiers were amazed about this amplifier, and confirmed that it is playing in a different league. It’s a bit fiddly to switch between inputs when the device is in the rack (as the switched are hidden on the back), but the timeless design really makes up for it. Thank you very much for making me happy.

Amazing amp! Very transparent and deep sound, great sound stage no matter if jazz, classic or rock/pop and electronic music. Hooked up to Topping E70 V and Canton Vento 896 which the Apollon drives effortlessly. Great work, Tibor!

Awesome amp. Made my setup look slick. Will order another custom 3 channel amp soon!!

A high-quality device, lovingly constructed, with a very high level of sound and very homogeneous.
Sounds wonderful at low volume.
One wish I had was to be able to switch the power amplifier directly from RCA to XLR in the front of the device. I would have loved a better and higher quality switch. Thank you for this fantastic sounding Class D amplifier.

I bought two NCx500 ST NCOREx amplifiers for the mains and surrounds of my home theater. I like them even more than I expected!
They are light, compact, well built, and nice to look at. They have enough power that I can run them on low gain with perfectly acceptable max volume with my 89db/W floor standing main speakers, and will likely have enough at max gain to power a small PA system for my wife’s dance performances should the need arise. The 12V triggers work great with the MiniDSP HTx feeding them.
My goal for the electrical components of this system was to have enough power and flexibility for all my foreseeable needs while having a total system signal to noise ratio that far exceeds human audible range. Having used these for several months now, I feel confident I have achieved that goal, and I expect to be using this system for many decades.

Great amp. Very small. It sounds very neutral.
My one complaint is that no power cord is supplied. When I inquired, you recommended 12 AWG power cord. That type of power cord with the correct pin locations is not available in the US. I am using 14 AWG.
