@4afsanakhan I think that’s what they were trying to do with the new 50 series.  
Peachtree GaN 1 Beta
For those of you using ifi zen stream with Gan 1: are you using the software volume control in the zen stream to control volume? Does this software volume affect quality? I don’t know any other way you would control volume otherwise.  
Thinking of Magnepan ... finally!
The 20.7 is Large, but boy will it sound good,  
Peachtree GaN 1 Beta
Thanks @ricevs Ric, are you still modding the VTV Purifi in addition to the Gan1 and VTV300? The review of the Ric modded Purifi in 10audio.com was super!

@chrisld  Do you have a Ric modded Gan1 or a stock Gan1? Thanks for sharing your observations.

Other than using the high level speaker inputs like REL not sure what else you’d do. How are you going to use a tuner with Gan1?  A2D converter?  
Fantasy or reality? Inexpensive solid state preamps that get you 80% there?
@drewdawg999  Drew - do you have any of the 'sensitive' remote problems with your Pre 90 - that it doesn't work well from long distances or you have to aim it perfectly?  
Best Class D GaNFET Amp Comparison. Who to invite?
@ricevs  Rick, I looked on the VTV Purifi website and could not find your number 1.  VTV Purifi 700 Is the model wrong?

Yyz, you and I both like to have our vintage analog tuners playing too!

Looking forward to yyz’s honest take on the modded Gan1. He has a great system to compare with.   
Integrated amp recommendation for Maggie .7's
I've heard an I50 drive Maggie 1.7i two times now and that combo sounds awesome.    
New Class D amplifiers
  @thewetdog59    You have a great system!  Really interested in how you think the Gan1/BS Node compares to your Mac/Bryston system you have.  The Maggie 3.7i are Great speakers.

All, I understand a bluseound node or an Ifi Stream is what you hook up to Gan 1 to stream, output coax and control volume.   What if someone wanted to use an Ipad Pro with USB C and stream Apple Music high res lossless - would there be a simple... 
8-10k budget suggestions please
Get an Ifi Zen Stream.  
Dunlavy resurrection?
I sure would like to find a pair of Dunlavy ii or iii speakers.
