Once upon a time, long, long ago, this thread was about the LSA Voyager.
I think some comments were being deleted regarding LSA Voyager. Blink and you'd miss it. Perhaps people just gave up - something fishy, to my mind..
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.....

@mivmike ,
The one you indicated as balanced has worse channel matching. The one you indicated as unbalanced, had unrealistic channel matching. 0.005% gain difference. That is highly unlikely on anything "real" two channel. The other measurement was matched to 0.015db between channels. I think you need to spend more time with your tools before posting stuff and learn to interpret what your post means. |
I think you don't understand what the measurements mean and I expect you are using the equipment improperly. Channel matching to 0.005% as your first picture shows is unnatural and highly unlikely. It is difficult to get that from lab grade reference DC sources, let alone a consumer audio device. The second unit at 0.015db difference is still exceptionally good channel matching. The amplitude accuracy of your equipment is 0.7% (0.06db). The changes you are showing are likely well within the short term thermal drift of the equipment, simply from output/input impedance. Balanced is not going to fix the issue. It is even harder to match/maintain perfect gain between channels with balanced taking into account a proper AES balanced connection has match source/load impedance and the absolute output will be a function of those resistors and never accurate to 0.005%, and I would be quite happy if within 0.015db, but even that is highly unlikely. |
