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

@soix 
I have the Audion now for two weeks,
They are driving DC10/Viking Berlin’s (MK II).
Very impressed and will definitely keep them.
I had listened to them at Ocean Way Audio in LA and was simply stunned of what the combination of an ultra low noise floor (-130 dB), very low distortion and a SET like signature of harmonics (albeit at very low levels) can do. These amps are a discrete innovation. Specifically, never have I heard mass strings and large choirs so resolved, detailed and natural.
Also the detail and texture at very low volume are simply stunning.
Definitely try them out!

Is it a coincidence that when you put transistors in a glass tube that looks like a electron tube that suddenly the sound is called SET like? As opposed to your typical Spartan Class D amp box that no SET fan in their right mind would ever own, eh?

I wouldn’t put it that way. I understand the specific design objective was to create a GaN amp which delivers SET-like harmonics (without paying the price of high noise floor and limited dynamics). In my view this has been completely achieved.
The design of the “chip in a tube” amp board may be a matter of taste. But the workmanship and appearance of the unit are quite beautiful.

Yeah that glass tube thing was very very questionable thing to do, but then to the gullible it "could" say it will sound better. Even the designer said it was a bit of a joke when he was interviewed way back on it.

But the worst part of it is that they use the 6550 tube push pin’s and tube socket as the contact making for input, output, power etc, which is just about the worst thing you could do re a good connection for power transferring.
(suppose it will ensure future servicing returns when the contact/s will fail)

Apologies - just realize your question focused on a different amp. Product names seem pretty close.
Still, The Audion, a mini amp :-), is worth a listening.
