Peachtree GaN 1 Beta
@mbmi  I think the combo is $1700... $300 for the node is a good deal

Yeah,  I'm not going to add RCA/BNC adapters to the mix.  We'll never find a streamer that has a BNC digital coax connector.  I remember the old days using BNC, just liked the secure connection. As I mentioned in the previous post, may run the co...

Ok.  So for anyone that cares, here are my mods to the GaN1.   1.  Replaced power inlet/fuse with a pure copper (Viborg) IEC. 2.  Replaced internal power wiring with VenHaus 12awg wire. 3.  Added KLE copper binding posts 4.  Triple C (Audio R...

Here is a link to a review of a bunch of digital cables (all with bnc connectors). The same difference would still be there if using rca connectors. This will give you an idea of the differences EVERYTHING makes. We have only just begun! Curiou...

On one had you rave about the sound.....and then with the other hand you say its best use is using it with cheap streamers in a secondary system......HUH? How can you be raving about the sound in your main system and say this? My statement shou...

What really caught me was how dead silent this thing is.   I'm primarily listening to audio from my OLED TV and it is tremendous (thru my Rose 150). Voicing is amazing and watching sports (ESPN) is impressive. Don't know how much the Rose helps (...

OK, please do a serious evaluation and let us know......thanks. BTW....how does the Rose do digital out volume control? At 32Bits? or ? What digital cable are you using? Here is the feedback from the Rose engineers... Basically, for OPT OUT/ ...

I'll finally be able to listen/eval the GaN1.   Swapped out the GaN400 and will be using the Rose 150 as the digital front end. It is dead silent (GaN400 has a slight turn on/off pop), no speaker hiss at all. Probably not the long term pairing w...

I just received my GaN1.   I also have the GaN400 (along with some other Class D amps) I'll be using the Hifi Rose 150B as the streamer/preamp.  We'll see how they compare.

Not for me...  
Anyone try the Rose RS180 Integrated?
I would love to pair it with my 150B. Decent review below.

cheapest cable upgrade ever
OK. I tried it. Although, I did make an XLR cable change at the same time. If Steve (@williewonka) is following this one, I have a couple good data points. We have a Tesla solar roof and when I push battery power the audio experience is so much b...
