Another vote for any of the Bel Canto products, really well made and great sounding.
Is D-Sonics audio still in business
I was wondering if d-sonics audio is still in business, as I was looking to get my son some inexpensive class D amps for his new home and was looking into d-sonic amps but I cannot find their website, as it keeps coming up as unavailable.
Are there any other high powered class D amps for a reasonable price and good reliability out there, I am not to familiar with that class of amps.

@alucard19 GAN is Class D. I was going to return my GAN400 to Peachtree (trial period). I had it all packed and ready to go but decided to give it another go with my subwoofer in new location. I got some 15-foot RCA cables from Benchmark to make the sub positioning more flexible. Well, that did the trick, and I am now keeping the GAN400. It is an above average sound with the sub in a better spot. I am using $995 Magnepan LRS+ in a small room. A great Class D amp is a EVS modded Peachtree GAN1. This is incredible but a PIA to use. I think the GAN1 design has a great future. See Daniel Hertz Maria amps (maybe the same as my GAN1, but more features). Maria Amplifiers – Daniel Hertz SA

@yyzsantabarbara, Wow those Daniel Hertz amps are expensive, I was just looking to get my son some inexpensive Class D amps that had enough power to drive what ever speakers he has, that was why I was looking into the D-Sonic amps they have plenty of power and are only around 1K each for the mono style. I like my son but I'm not rich, I'm just trying to get him something that is easy to set up and still sound good. Thanks for the link but I will have to pass on those amps. |
@yyzsantabarbara not all GaN amplifiers are Class D. Take a look at the Gold Note PA-10 I have two operating in Bridged mode with an SPL Phonitor 2 as a preamp and they are spectacular. I also agree that the Bel Canto products are well built and sound great. https://www.hifipig.com/gold-note-pa-10-power-amplifier/

@alucard19 I do not own the DH Maria amp. I just linked to it because I think it is the same design as the PeachTree GAN1. The GAN1 is $1500. I have about $600 mods on top of that. I think it is a rather great amp just hindered by the limited connectivity and the SPDIF requirement. I expect other companies like DH to follow a similar design.
@recklesskelly I learned something new about GAN and Class D. |
