Anyone try it yet?
Probably have a trial period like most US companies do?
Reasonable shipping charges too, only $89 to Australia

Actually, one of the earliest Class D GaN amps is the Orchard Mono blocks.....been out for a couple of years.......$1500 the pair.  They have a new stereo amp with even more power for $2500.  Also made in the USA.

Forgot about those, still 1/2 the price of them also.

And the  Class-D Audio USA amps have 100kohm input impedance, good for anything to drive them even passives, and the also have input gain adjustment so you can go direct into them from a dac (with volume) without fear of "bit stripping" a very big plus.

Interesting (and interesting tech) … would love to see some reviews of these/any new GaN amps. Maybe a development that persuades me to try Class D.
Thanks George. I've been wanting to try a GaN amp out. This little amp certainly has a good price point and feature set.

Has definitely got that on it's side, ask if they do a trial period, with restocking fee if it doesn't suit.
