Its perfectly valid to compare amps of different classes of operation.
Regarding the 'unobtanium' GaNFET, I understand your skepticism- I reacted the same way. The designer claims he uses a device 'designed for audio'. As you know, GaNFET's main advantage, their raison d'etre, is for switching so of course any GaNFET could be used but if you wanted to optimize one for a class D audio amplifier it would have a low output capacitance. That was something we considered when we chose the parts we use as well. So we can assume that is what is being used. That is the extent of being 'designed for audio'.
This is hilarious, actually!!
If I use a switching semiconductor to switch at 2 mHz, are you going to call that device an “audio output” device???
Thats what these GaN devices are, and that’s how they’re used here! That’s how Class D amps work! These devices are no more “audio devices” than the devices used to control industrial induction motors, or used to control motors in EVs!! Fact is, both GaN and SiC were developed for exactly these reasons: Efficient control of induction and DC motors!!!
This is a total scam to say these devices are “audio” rated, or even operate at audio frequencies!
Peoples’ lack of understanding of Class D amps makes for easy victims of false advertising!!
