i have no personal experience with it. but the parts on it look like fairly generic Asian built pieces, and at its price point i would guess its a fairly solid, yet standard class D amp, like your QX.
how much are they asking for the infinity?

Id suggest selling your amp, saving a bit more cash and buying a Rsd or 600.1
Although I love PG the QX amps are entry level. Sell it, do without for a payday or 2 and get somethign worthwhile

hmm...that seems super steep to me.
i know you like to buy from stores...but there are many PEOPLE here selling some used and even used gear for far lower.
i know there is a xenon 600.1 that was bought at the PG friends and family sale on the board right now for 200....that would put you $100 ahead of the infinity amp...and it would rip that 611a to peices....
not pushing a sale here...just my humble opinion. if you got scammed on the web before or something in understand your wryness.
