Why don’t you just buy one?.....you have 15 days to return it, if not happy. Since it is so light, the shipping would be not much for both ways. You can be the one to let everyone know how it sounds versus more expensive amps (assuming you have a more expensive reference). If you don’t buy today the price is going up $50. If you cannot play it all the time then put some power resistors on it and run it 24/7......burn in can sometimes be very little or a great deal. One of the mini reviews on the Premium Audio site claims it got noticeably better with time.
Anyone hear the Class D Audio Mini GaN 5 amp yet?
Looks intriguing but not much out there on it yet so wondering if anyone here has had a chance to hear it or, even better, had a chance to compare it to other amps. Thinking of taking a flier on this amp given the tech and price, but we all know implementation is everything so looking for some real-world impressions before ponying up any dough. Also, please let’s not make this yet another measurement debate — I’m purely interested in sonic impressions here so take your measurement comments elsewhere. Thanks.

Anyone hear the Class D Audio Mini GaN 5 amp yet? 300w 4ohm GaN Technology for $699!!! gotta be bargain if it sounds as good or better than Purifi or Hypex NC500. What I like is that it’s that it’s 100kohm input impedance, rather than stupid low 20kohm like most Class-D’s. Which means it can be driven direct from even tube source or tube pre or passive preamps easily. https://www.classdaudio.com/mini-gan-5-balanced-power-amplifier.html Cheers George |
