Anybody else waiting for GaN and Purify to have a baby?


So many promising things being written about products using either technology, anybody know there’s an amp in the near future incorporating both?  Gotta say I’m more than curious about what that could sound like.

That was a pleasure to read, what a wonderful and descriptive report. I may have to get that Mini GAN amplifier and shed my cranky Naim. Better for the planet too.

Respect, and best regards.

Very nice review of the Mini GAN 5 and it matches my experience of the amp. It is an amazing value at $750. I have the Nuprime IDA-8 and I would be shocked if you found it competitive with the Mini GAN 5. I also have the Peachtree GaN 400 which I like very much. You might want to give it or the Voyager GaN 350 a try, I think both companies offer a 30 day return policy. I love pretty much everything about the GaN 400 except it also lacks that juicy fat midrange which is especially noticeable on male vocals. On the other hand the amount of separation and amazing purity, clarity, and tonal accuracy are huge positives. It would be very interesting to see how you felt it compared to the AGDs.

Very good review of the Class-D Audio USA amps.

If know how to mount these into a box that's basically it, these "should" for $940 be much better as they are GaN made by Gan!!!
And they have in them a dac, preamp, volume, and dsp with "Audio Curtain" laptop adjustable audio parameters)

Here’s something interesting, your MiniGaN 5 has the "EAS eGaNAMP2016 Gallium Nitride Class-D Amplifier Module" in it. https://ibb.co/2n5wTKK

And now they’re bringing the newer "EAS eGaNAMP 2.1 Reference GaN modules" out https://ibb.co/P6WmMZS

And there’s the original one I showed GaN by GaN with power-supply dac, pre etc etc.

Things are really heating up for a congested GaN amplifier choice, great thing is most are going to be well below $1k
