You can buy them, but you can build better ones yourself. Commercially available chip amps are typically made to a price point to be very inexpensive and compact. Since the amplifier itself is on a single chip, the circuits are simple and the quality of sound is sensitive to the properties of the passive elements in the circuit and the quality of the power supply. They can be modified or constructed easily from scratch using better components, which will surpass stock assemblies.
