https://ibb.co/80x8L1CCheers GeorgeMatt Hall, a very experienced sound quality competitor and audiophile, has done an amazing test with numerous high end amplifiers from different brands.
There were a total of 18 listeners, all unaffiliated with any audio equipment manufacturer.
We are proud to announce that the GAN made it to TIER 1, which was reserved only for the highest quality amplifiers, the ones that can be really used for Reference Level listening.
This is a direct quote from Matt’s review: "Describing how dimensionally accurate, transparent, and dynamic this lightweight amplifier is with profound adjectives seems disingenuous, but I assure you, I’m no charlatan. This amplifier is legit!"

Soon we will be releasing information on the new GAN amplifiers. We will have a 2-channel and 4-channel version!
The Future of Audio Amplification
I have recently paired an Audio Research DS225 Class D amplifier with an Audio Research tube preamplifier (SP8 mkii). I cannot believe how wonderful and lifelike my music sounds. The DS225 replaced an Audio Research SD135 Class AB amplifier. Perhaps the SD135 is just not as good as some of the better quality amps that are out there, but it got me thinking that amazingly wonderful sonance can be achieved with a tubed pre and Class D amp. I have a hunch that as more people experience this combination, it will likely catch on and become the future path of many, if not most audiophile systems. It is interesting that Audio Research has been at the forefront of this development.

Yep looks like GaN technology has infiltrated into car audio also and beat the competitors, the SoundDigital SD300.2 |
I'm happy to see this thread becoming more civil and moving toward the common good, that's awesome! This is such an important thread I was hoping this would happen. My part in this will be strictly listening and applying mechanics to the samples I receive. I have several amps in route to me now and several more being designed for me (Class D). In my listening so far I have found the same issue with Class D as I have with the other Classes, so for my listening I have removed the chassis. I am pro-fields not dampened fields. mg |
Along with Texas Instruments (TI), looks like Analog Devices is also getting into the manufacture of the GaN technology https://www.analog.com/en/applications/technology/gan.html Cheers George |
