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.

Let me know when someone actually buys one and listens to it and can share their findings.

I am tempted for that price but can’t justify another amp quite yet. The longer one waits, the better off one usually is in regards to the product/technology options at their disposal to buy. In other words, new innovations of value to many and not just a select few with unlimited funds only get better and cheaper over time.

Let attitude more reading would be your friend considering the ASR link had listening impressions.
Ha!  Going to ASR for listening impressions is like going to The Absolute Sound for rigorous reviews and objective measurements.  No bueno.

I would be careful about what groups I am disparaging.
What does that mean? Is that a threat?
