LSA Voyager GAN 350 versus Merrill Audio Element Amps or AGD Grand Vivace and Vivace Amps
The Legacy amps are stock IceEdge modules in a box. Same as the Rouge Audio Design Studio N-10DM that you can have delivered to your door for $1600 (Legacy i-V2 stereo amp is $4700). There is a thread here about a super modified dual mono IceEdge ...

And you can add the Cherry Class D amps......people love them.....I can mod all $4K or less amps for better sound. 
LSA Voyager GAN 350 versus Merrill Audio Element Amps or AGD Grand Vivace and Vivace Amps
Really disappointed with AGD. They could of brought out a stereo amp at $3500 but instead went for higher price so it does not upset the market for their more expensive versions......I mean, if a $3500 stereo amp sounded as good as a pair of $7500... 
Which digital input to use? Technics SU-R1000 or Technics SL-G700
I don’t think there is anything "proprietary" in the AKM A/D circuit that Technics is using. Just using the AKM chip. Of course, the power supply used and the input stage used affects the sound.......so, in that sense everyone one who uses a parti... 
Which digital input to use? Technics SU-R1000 or Technics SL-G700
When you tell the truth.......we all win.  If you pretend....we all lose.  I want us all to win.  We are worthy.....We are worth telling the truth....even if it means saying we don't know what we are talking about.  We are all play acting as human... 
Which digital input to use? Technics SU-R1000 or Technics SL-G700
Yes, try and cover your tracks....you had no idea how the Technics worked till I told you. 
Which digital input to use? Technics SU-R1000 or Technics SL-G700
You don’t get it. The amp is a digital amp. It takes digital signals and converts them to analog via a pcm to pwm converter (pure digital with class D PWM output stage)......this is not a DAC in the normal sense of the word.Now there might be a ch... 
Which digital input to use? Technics SU-R1000 or Technics SL-G700
Get it right George......the AD 5572 is a A/D converter.....not a D/A converter. There is no D/A converter (DAC) in any Technics...they are pure digital amps.....pcm to pwm conversion done directly by software.The A/D converter is used to turn the... 
Which digital input to use? Technics SU-R1000 or Technics SL-G700
The Technics website says the 1000 has an AKM A/D and shows a picture of the AKM chip......see the link George provides.  Tone Audio review and the other thing you quoted is about the 700.......I am talking about the latest and greatest 1000......... 
Which digital input to use? Technics SU-R1000 or Technics SL-G700
There is no DAC in the Technics machines.  It is a PCM to PWM converter......done in software.....same as the original TACT Millennium and all the current Lyngdorf amps.  The A to D converter is an AKM as shown in their literature......not a Burr-... 
A little tube magic?
Ralph,Great news.  I bet you are going to sell a lot of them.  Does the product have a name or number?  When will it have a page on your website with pics?  What is the gain and input impedance?  Thanks,  good luck.Ric 
A little tube magic?
Ralph,Are you shipping your GaN amp?.....if so, what do the customers think?.....and how much is it?  Any specs besides 100 watts? 
Class D amps seem poised to take over. Then what?
You rang?Yes, I am still here. So is infinite eternal bliss and love. Please tune into the love and bliss as much as possible for the sake of all humanity and yourself. Every single moment is a miracle beyond your wildest imagination. You have 60 ... 
Stock Voyager GaN amp (350/600) Contrasted with my EVS1200 (600/1200)
Phil,Do you have some better than stock feet underneath?  The stock feet are rubbery sounding.  Yes, the Voyager plus mods plus good feet equal some very, very nice sound.....of course, you want a great power cord, as well. 
GaN by GaN Class-D with SMP complete for $940, ready to go just put in a box.
On the first thread about this.....now deleted.....there was a post from a guy in Las Vegas who had made 4 of these.  If you are that person, I would love to discuss something with you.  Please PM me.....thanks.
