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.....

" Technology’s such as DSD and Hi Bitrate PCM along with advances in CD remastering and come along since those harsh sounding CD’s of the 1980’s."

Your clueless when it comes to REMASTERED CD's. The Original CD Pressings in the 1980's are VASTLY Superior in most cases compared to your beloved "remastered" Crapola nowadays that is compressed to death/Brickwalled/Loudness wars...whatever you want to call it.  Maybe yours sound like garbage because it coincides with the level of gear your using.
rajugsw,
Sorry you got up on the wrong side of the bed this morning. You sound like someone in need of love. I love you.....you are beautiful. The whole world loves you. Give yourself a hug.

Orchard makes a GaN module (that he tried to sell to VTV) and so does the company that makes the ones for Peachtree and LSA. Who is to say which module is better? The Orchard amp is not even released yet. And who cares how old someone is that designed it? Then there is the $3K Wyred for Sound amp coming soon. So, there will soon be 4 GaN amps in the same price range......then there are mods to each one.....so that makes 8 different possibilities. Are you going to be the first to have all 8 of them in your room at the same time and burn them all in for 200 hours and A/B them all and tell us which one you like best? The GaN wars are just starting. We will have more and more of them.

So, stop whining and enjoy what you have. Your amp may be better than "theirs", or it may be different, or worse. Sorry it means so much to you. FYI...The Orchard amp uses a cheap chassis from Italy.....I know, I used that one for my EVS1200 amp. If you press on the top it goes down. If you press on the back panel it moves in (I had to do mods to it to not have it do that). Not well designed. Do you think the Orchard tree logo looks great on it? The power supply Orchard uses is a stock power supply from Hypex. Sorry to burst your bubble. I don’t care which one is best.....I mod them all.

Enjoy this moment.....it is the only moment that is this moment.
Breath......everything is fine.....just the way it is.
Love yourself and everyone.
Dance and sing a joyful song.

For those in denial look at this (red bad squashed to death) compressed
They only got together once and made the one album master, but it was re-released many times but got gradually squashed to death with compression the newer the release got. Just for listening in car/streaming/download/ipod and background music

Ricevs,
My Rouge is pretty substantial. 23 lbs, decent casework.  Francesco wrote me and asked whether I wanted white or blue LED on lights, details about engraving of the round dial on the front.  He treated me as if I were ordering an expensive D'ag amp.  Rouge looks like a higher class company than the DIY'ers.  They have many different products using Pascal, Hypex, Anaview modules as well as IceEdge.  Thanks for recommending Rouge.

If the LAS Voyager was an off the shelf module that was 'merely' in need of an input, I and presumably many others would not have been waiting 2 full years from it's initial intorduction
