LSA Voyager GAN Amplifier

" 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."

I guess this is the new amp?

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

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

Phil, I bet EJ's GaN amp is his own design, I'm not sure about Peachtree and LSA but they went on sale at the same time and have very similar specs. I find it interesting that all 3 of these GaN amps are retailing at $3,000.

Tomorrow I will have someone that has decades of experience in the audio  hardware (a vendor) and music business (recording studios) over to my place to listen to my headphone system. He is coming over to compare some amps. I will post his feelings on the LSA Voyager once we are done.

I am now over 200 hours on the amp.

So far, all of EJ’s amps have been plug and play using IcePower and their own front end circuit. Would be nice if it were a stand alone design. We already have two of the same with Peachtree and LSA.

If the Peachtree and LSA are the same it is a great time to get a super deal on the LSA from Walter. He knows that Peachtree has a 30 day money back and he charges $450 in restocking fees.....making the Peachtree much more desirable. So, I have no doubt he will give super trade in values and even straight discounts.....as he will want to unload as much merchandise ASAP.....especially in light of WFS’s about to be real... amp.....and the new $2500 GaN amp from Orchard (to ship in Oct.). A good time to be an audiophile.....great stuff....and, not so expensive!
