Anybody else waiting for GaN and Purify to have a baby?

Very good review of the Class-D Audio USA amps.

If know how to mount these into a box that's basically it, these "should" for $940 be much better as they are GaN made by Gan!!!
And they have in them a dac, preamp, volume, and dsp with "Audio Curtain" laptop adjustable audio parameters)

Here’s something interesting, your MiniGaN 5 has the "EAS eGaNAMP2016 Gallium Nitride Class-D Amplifier Module" in it. https://ibb.co/2n5wTKK

And now they’re bringing the newer "EAS eGaNAMP 2.1 Reference GaN modules" out https://ibb.co/P6WmMZS

And there’s the original one I showed GaN by GaN with power-supply dac, pre etc etc.

Things are really heating up for a congested GaN amplifier choice, great thing is most are going to be well below $1k

I will second the Orchard Audio Starkrimson Ultra.
500 watts, switching frequency 750kHz I believe, phase plots look good, most importantly sound is amazing.
I know have 2 of them. I have relegated my Purifi 1ET400a
to the rear channels of home theater.

I thought these eval boards were not optimized for audio? At least the first generation one.
In any case, I doubt these boards possess the design magic and proprietary GaN's that AGD has. I consider the AGD amps the current standard for GaN amps.

Until one can build a pair of amps for, say, $3K with the same performance as the AGD Audion, I see no reason to consider them.
