GaN amplifier from GaN themselves limited supply!!!



There is this integrated GaN , made by GaN themselves, so you know it "should" be good.
(Could very well be the best of all GaN amps)
(single purchase only, not available for multi purchase for commercial Class-D manufactures)

But you’ll have to put it in a box, comes with all you need, the amp and power supply, and dac??!!!
(if you can build simple kits you can build this, would it quite simple to make up)
.
You have with it:
Volume control
3 x switchable inputs
2 x Analog stereo inputs rca & jack
2 x digital spdif inputs, optical and coax (yes it has a dac in it too)
And this is neat, user variable negative feedback!!! for those that don’t like too much for the sake of "better" measurements" and want a more organic sound, all for just $1.3K

I, for one, am quite interested in Ralph’s thoughts on this.

Given his long history with OTL amps, I am very curious to see how these are received.

Why, on earth, did the mods remove this?

Designing an amp is a bit more involved than making a volume control…

Perhaps Ralph, who knows a thing or two about what an amp can sound like, is applying that knowledge to the D class amps - which are at the Beta stage (look at the link I posted) . And perhaps, building a world class amp, can take a minute to sort out, especially when you know what it should sound like.

But, feel free to keep on naysaying. Seems that is what you do best.”

Explain this to me please?
@siox

Yeah, thats the very confusing part. Ralph has said nothing negative about the tech, just calling out application.

Meanwhile, George gets to throw his vitriol about.

Not cool...

And I am also curious about the new tech that is around the bend. Especially curious when a designer like Ralph does what could be argued as a complete 180 from OTL tubes to D class amps.

That is very interesting!
