Up to date list of GaN Class D Amplifiers?

I’ve not heard one yet, but looking forward to seeing how this develops.

Does anyone have a list of Amplifiers currently on the market using this Gallium Nitride (GaN) semi conductor?

Anyone heard one?
Is it really a game changer?
Is GaN likely to reach the mass market?


Thanks

Yes, maybe and yes.
GaNFETs are pretty cheap nowadays so anyone can design a circuit using them inexpensively.

But MOSFETs aren't out of the game yet; some of the newer ones are easily able to switch at the same speeds as GaNFETs currently in use.

What’s the latest news on GaN FET in 2022?
 

Are they coming down in price?

Has GaN fixed the issues associated with Class D?

Ive had the LSA Voyager 350 GaN amp for about 1 and half years. It responds to every upgrade Ive done to my system. Most notably Mad Scientist Graphene Contact Enhancer

Thanks @twoleftears 

 

Have you heard that amp?   Is it any good?

 

I’m in UK.   There’s a Hifi show coming up later this month.   Hoping to hear some GaN amps there.

More to discover
