Class-D Audio USA have just released their new GaN amp at the CES

Class-D Audio USA have finally shown their GaN based Class-D at the CES, anyone see/hear it?
It should be well priced.
Wonder if they went the extra yards/cost for the higher 1.5mhz switching frequency, like the mighty Technics SE-R1.

Hi George,
Yes, our new GaN amp was just at the CES show a few weeks ago, and was a big success. If you email me tomorrow and remind me, I can provide more information... I’ll try to remember to email when I get to work, but sometimes I get pulled many directions when I get there.

Yeah I asked JA of Stereophile just today if there’s a chance he could review/measure the new Technics SU-R1000

as it’s getting great reviews, this is the lastest one.

Not sure if any of you ever followed up and purchased one of these Gan Amps from Class D but I did and it sure is a nice amp.  I have the latest monoblocks  arriving soon from Class D also and am excited.   The now $750 stereo amp is quite the value.  I owned a Cherry Megaschino MK2 and only sold it as Tommy passed and repairs became impossible and I didn’t want to risk damaging it with no possibility of repair but I sure wish I had it here to compare.  Great amp.  Great price and great customer service.

Anyone in the northern New Jersey area want to bring one of the amps over to the listening room we would enjoy meeting with you and having a listen.  We are open to hearing and learning new things.

 

Happy Listening.
