Over the decades, I owned numerous class Ds several from W4S, then Emerald Physics 100.2SEs with custom fuses, then Audio Alchemy DPA -1, PS Audio M700s, and for ~ 1.5 years (long before PS Audio introduced the M1200s), I have owned a EVS 1200. At the time I bought it (30 day trial) I was anticipating getting a LSA Voyager GaN amp to compare. Well, shipping has still been delayed (though now supposedly shipping by the end of this month MSRP $3000; May 2021), much of the delay with CoV, not being able to get parts from china and numerous issues discovered when firing up the earlier mules, so...
It has been reported that several of the available uber expensive GaN amps sound overly warm, which for me is no bueno! How does the Audion stack up, I will likely never know
What I can say is the Voyager has its work cut out for it as the EVS 1200 stands tall, very tall indeed. Of late there are 3 reviews of the PSA M1200s (MSRP $6000) all extremely positive, and all missing out on EVS’s amazing pixie dust. But ric is no longer making them (or is he?), and the 200/400wpc Voyager has a very attractive MSRP
