Affordable GaN FET amp from Peachtree Audio


Peachtree Audio is offering a Beta Test program for their new GaN 1 amp (not to be confused with their GaN400) and it's being offered at a substantial discount ($1299 instead of $1999) just for being part of the Beta Test group. It has only one digital coax input and that's it. 200 Watts/channel, zero feedback, and no DAC since the GaN FETs handle that.

All the best,

I would like to ask for some help.  I have a Gan1 and Bluesound on order.  I don't stream music yet and just want to use my beautiful Jay's Audio CD Transport.  The trouble is,  it only has AES/EBU, RCA, BNC and I2s on HDMI for outputs and the Node needs toslink. The only other volume control I can find that is compatible is the Rose 150B which is alot of $ for just using it as a volume control.   Does anybody know of any other options ? Thanks

Minidsp flex digital should work. Gan 1 doesn't use toslink, it uses coaxial spdif. 

Oh nm, I see what you mean about toslink, I misread your post. But the minidsp flex digital should still work. 

I bought the GAN1 but not delivered yet. I did however get delivery today of a unit that SHOULD allow me to connect to the GAN1 and adjust volume via ROON.

My streaming is done using FIbre Optical from a network switch to a Sonore OpticalRendu (ROON READY). Tthe OpticalRendu will connect to the unit that was delivered today, the Sonore UltraDigital. A USB cable from the OpticalRendu will be used to connect into the UltraDigital. From the UltraDigital I use a SPDIF cable to the GAN1. I have LPS for the OpticalRendu and UltraDigital.

I should be able to adjust volume on ROON by setting the OpticalRendu’s ROON END POINT settings to DEVICE VOLUME from FIXED.

I will report back here if it works. There is some concern by 1 of the Sonore principles that this may not work. Though 2 other Sonore folks tell me it will work.

@yyzsantabarbara by chance did setting the OR as a Roon End Point with device volume instead of fixed volume work? Seemed like Sonore wasn’t entirely definitive at the time of this writing in 2022.
