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.....

All brands of polyprop or whatever caps sound different from each other....even if they are the same length.  If you orient the cap with the outside foil to the output of lower potential it sounds best.

By 'potential' here do you mean impedance? Its sensible engineering to have the outer foil connected to the lower impedance circuit, that minimizes RF ingress.

Trouble is that fast rising distortion into 4ohms after only 20w!! of power. That will not get fixed easily. And this could be the reason why (it’s a bridged amp). Andy

"the fact that there are four amplifiers here, not two. Strange that the company is going after audiophile market yet bridged this amp for higher power."

 

 

 

 

This is much much better falling distortion into 4ohms all the way up to 200W!!

This looks familiar. This EVM has been available for 5 years now. Nothing new. Digikey used to sell these amp modules for $300 each.
