Yeah, my prior post got deleted as well. George gets very defensive whenever anyone questions anything about things he recommends here to the point where when even very knowledgeable and respected people here bring up valid points he feels the need to lash out at them and tries to discredit them by saying they have an ulterior profit or business-related motive (total bunk BTW). Oddly his unfounded claims against the reputations of these respected members are allowed to remain for some strange reason while posts questioning George’s motives or claims get deleted. Frankly I don’t get the double standard, but whatever. Still interesting to hear about amps made with these modules and exciting to see where the newer GaN, Purify, etc. technologies are taking the world of amplification.
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
