Affordable GaN FET amp from Peachtree Audio

Thanks for the history lesson. 👍
Something tells me that with the use of GaN FETs and lots of good old time on their hands (for all the R&D being done), the future is going to look a lot brighter for "digital" amps.

The sound I'm hearing out of my Technics SU-G700M2 is unlike anything I've heard and yet it's all in a good way. As I adjust to the sound and notice what sounds like minor trade offs are beginning to look more like the shedding of bad aspects and maskings and the revealing of more musical information, if that makes any sense.

It's more than a different perspective, but it's still early in the game.

All the best,

The Bel Canto c5i in my upstairs system does a similar trick as I read it ie digital signal driving the class D amp. It’s an “all digital” integrated amp. Lots of inputs including phono. Analog inputs are converted to digital. It’s been a keeper….had it for several years and love it. Small footprint and does  everything just add speakers and inputs. There is a new model now the c6i that I might have to upgrade to at some point.

What I just read online describes the C5i as a normal class D integrated....with built in DAC......not a digital direct to PWM converter.

Starts production next week, I'm excited to get mine. Might get a minidsp flex to go with it. 

i hope this unit isn’t plagued with this problem... absolutely shocking they would let production units out like that...
