"More to costs than the parts....Research and development costs need to be added in as well."
-Sure, but that could be said about other technologies also.
From some aspects, it is easier with class D as it is basically a chip amp, the bulk of engineering and manufacturing is already done.
"Class d audio amps are said to be much more difficult to get right and take a different skill set than those needed for ss and tubes. Few people have those skills, thus why most buy modules."
-Doesn't that set off bells that tell you it is severely compromised design from the start?
If somebody had the skills to make it "right", one wonders why they haven't been implemented by the chip manufacturers by now.
"Some of the module users use cnc cases and other jewelry which adds $$$."
-Form should follow function. If it doesn't sound good in a cake pan...
"The ncore1200 module from Hypex used by several in their high end amps are said to be sold by Hypex with a minimum price requirement so the reseller's hands are to some extent, tied, in that case."
-Even still, I doubt they are paying more then 2 figures per chip.

I don't follow you....There is more to most class d audio amps than a chip....Look at the Hypex ncore. It's not a chip...And they cost quite a bit more than 2 figures...
try it! you know you want to!
Isn't that the n400 in your signature?
You are right, the correct term would be "module" I suppose.
