but that measured distortion numbers and signal to noise, etc.....have any correlation to sound?......show me. show me the test results that prove it.
Isn’t it obvious that any audio device which injects spurious noise into the input signal which is measured at the output is not true to the source? If you like distortion, that’s fine, enjoy. But it’s called "hi-fi" not "hi-di".
This GaN amp is like the old tripath class d amp of 20 years ago- output dependent on the load. It may play nicely with some speakers but not with others. You can add or change the distortion all you want, it still isn’t state of the art and a second class implementation in comparison to other class d amps available for much less money. You can't make a silk purse from a sow's ear, so they say.
