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.

Compare it to other Class-D that are low priced.
For $699 don’t think you’ll find anything better perhaps, and USA made, sold and serviced, doesn’t seem to be a China, Asia, or Euro connection at all.

I said this upfront to avoid the measurement hoopla.  If all you’ve got is measurements and haven’t heard the amp your comments are useless in the context of this thread.  Moving on...

Only hoopla to those that don’t understand it, and it so new that’s all there’ll be for a while till some one purchases it, for the minuscule price it is, and that will come from keeping this thread active hopefully.

And guess what, it’s not a GaN Eval board, looks to be Class-D Audio USA own GaN technology board, big USA printed on the board  https://ibb.co/5knnR2y
