GaN amplifier from GaN themselves limited supply!!!


There is this integrated GaN , made by GaN themselves, so you know it "should" be good.
(Could very well be the best of all GaN amps)
(single purchase only, not available for multi purchase for commercial Class-D manufactures)

But you’ll have to put it in a box, comes with all you need, the amp and power supply, and dac??!!!
(if you can build simple kits you can build this, would it quite simple to make up)
.
You have with it:
Volume control
3 x switchable inputs
2 x Analog stereo inputs rca & jack
2 x digital spdif inputs, optical and coax (yes it has a dac in it too)
And this is neat, user variable negative feedback!!! for those that don’t like too much for the sake of "better" measurements" and want a more organic sound, all for just $1.3K

Have you ever designed/built and sold successful products to the public?

@soix - I know sometimes it's difficult to look past the person based on their comments and interactions with others, but George designed and built the Lightspeed Attenuator which I've owned for over 10 years and consider one of the best values in audio. Quite a lengthy thread about it on this site and an entire DIY thread on it elsewhere. So in addition to designing and building it George has shared it with the DIY community.

As far as who knows what around here, Ralph's knowledge and expertise in this field is a given. I've owned his products for over 10 years as well. After reading several posts by Ric of late the kindest word that comes to my mind is: meh.

Correct Clio, in the OTL vacuum tube field he’s very knowledgeable.
(solid state/D class offerings, different animal altogether yet to see anything there)

And the other is at best to me questionable tweaker.

You can see it a mile away, both are only here to discredit what could be disadvantageous to what they are doing to soon to come Class-D offerings they have.
And you can see it on the other Class-D threads, they do similar to them, also discredit or say they can "make" it sound better with tweaks.

Cheers George
