Anyone hear the Class D Audio Mini GaN 5 amp yet?

Well, it’s apparent doogie’s left the reservation — no idea what he’s talking about and certainly not pertinent to the intended discussion soooooo...back to our regularly-scheduled program, please. 

What a bunch of drama kings......he he.   All these words and nothing said.  I suggest soix delete the thread and start another one with the same tile in a few weeks......maybe by then someone will have actually heard the amp and have something REAL to say.

I would be careful about what groups I am disparaging.

What does that mean? Is that a threat?

@cleeds : it's our old friend --- he is back. Audio2Design, AtDavid, DanNad, etc. etc. Another fake account

Yeah, agreed (BTW Ric, still have your wonderful original Millennium DAC). Back before I had enough experience with various gear to know how to listen, what to listen for, and my own tastes/biases I used to overweight the importance of measurements too. I thought my original post as written would dissuade the lesser noob numbers crowd from polluting the discussion, but they’re a pervasive lot and obviously tough to shake. Oh well, maybe a topic for another day.

While we’re here though Ric, any general thoughts on GaN vs. Purify amps at this stage? My guess is, as with Class A vs. A/B amps (and pretty much everything in audio), there are trade offs and overall implementation matters as much or more than anything else, but I’d be interested in your thoughts and maybe which may have more potential for whatever reason(s). I know you’ve got some interesting mods for the VTV amps that are also high on my radar, which is actually one of the reasons I started this thread in the first place. Maybe we can salvage something useful outta this thing after all. 🤞
