LSA Voyager GAN Amplifier

Just got mine last week.  After 24 hours of play all I can say is that this is not your father's class D amplifier.  There is not one thing about its sound that reminds me of the class D gremlins that I do not like.  The low end filled in and now has deep impact, the midrange is the love child of a beautiful tube and clean hybrid amp - just gorgeous.  Highs are very clean and extended. Spatial cues are top notch. My system has had some damn good tube and solid state amps in it before and it has never sounded this good.  I am blown away with the quality of sound coming from class D amplification at this price point.

This 300 wpc amplifier is a real winner.....

BTW.....just got an email from Wyred for Sound.....in a month
or so their 400W per channel $3000 GaN amp will be released.
I wonder if they are also using the same modules and power supply
that LSA and Peachtree are supposedly using.  We shall see.

What is the reason that all these companies are only releasing amplifiers based on GaN? Why no integrateds in the market yet?

I know LSA has an integrated in the planning stage, expect it in early 2022 I would guess.

There is, made by GaN them selves, so you know it "should" be good. (Could very well be the best of all GaN amps)
(single purchase only, not available for multi purchase for commercial Class-D manufactures)

But you’ll have to put it in a box, comes with all you need, power supply and integrated GaN Class-D stereo amp and DAC!! (if you can build simple kits you can build this it quite simple to make up)
.
You have
volume control,
analog input,
2 x digital spdif inputs optical and coax (yes it has a dac in it too)
and variable feed back for those that don’t like too much for the sake of "better" measurements" all for just $1.3K
