I presume that you've heard it and recommend it. Could you post a review?
GaN by GaN Class-D with SMP complete for $940, ready to go just put in a box.
Just so it's known, I’m an in Australia and have no affiliation whatsoever to do with GaN or their retailers, so one here thought.
This thread is purely for those that have the mechanical aptitude and can mount this bundle in a box and have something very special, for less than $1000, and have preamp, source selector, volume control, and DAC!! as well as the GaN amplifier itself all in one box.

Yes Mouser ran out very quick last week, so I pulled the old thread, there are 10 coming in one and a half months, then they say after that, lead time 36 weeks for more stock.

Will do, my friend David hi-end tech here for most of the hiend stores in Sydney was very excited he could get one after Mouser ran out. I’ll hear it on his B&W 800 D4’s, he’ll have it up and running a day after he gets it from the US, not hard to mount in a box. My own made Hypex NC500 mono’s with massive linear power supplies 83v - + rails, sound good on his D4’s and are 400w @ 8ohm, more than twice the wattage, so the GaN will be up against it, my belief is it will sound better to a certain volume, as it’s wattage hamstrung, compared to the NC500 powerhouses.

Shouldn't you listen to this evaluation board before encouraging people to buy it? There is a chance it might not live up to your expectations. The board design might be intended more as a demonstration of power efficiency rather than sound quality. The DAC section and preamp section of the evaluation board may not be the highest quality. Will you be able to evaluate the GaN amplifier separately? |
rather than sound quality.Think real hard, who said this?? you or the opposition to it here!!! Members here are hopefully people that think, and can make up their own minds, seeing they have to make it. Once it’s in a nice $100 chassis from ebay, eg: https://www.ebay.com/itm/273637317398?hash=item3fb60e1b16:g:W04AAOSw-ZlcLYch It’s a GaN amp with preamp, input selector, digital and analog, and has it’s own dac and is laptop configurable with Audio Canvas III. Even if it’s not top shelf Class-D (which I doubt) in sound you’ll "at least" get your money back to sell it, unlike selling anything commercial you bought new and then try to sell used’ that’s nearly always close to halved. If you knew the design tech cred David has who purchased one, if he’s getting it, then there’s somethings special about it. I’d rather hear what he has to say than most of the shills here shilling from themselves or their friends companies. Cheers George |
