This morning I put my order in for a Mini GaN 5 . They are on Black Friday sale, $735......I nearly bought a Hypex NCore 252MP then I stumbled upon the whole GaN FET thing......Very interesting! I recently built an ICE 200wch amplifier from Parts Express as shown on Toid’s YouTube channel. A very inexpensive way to get your feet wet with class D. It’s a very nice amp, but has some shortcomings in the upper midrange and highs when driving my Magnepan LRS speakers. I’m hoping this more advanced technology will be an improvement.
My other equipment is Node2I into a Gustard X16 DAC, Schiit Freya tube preamp and Pass Labs First Watt F5v2 or VTA Tubes4HiFi ST120 tube amp.....LRS, KEF LS50 Metas and Pensil 10 speakers as the mood moves me....
All of this and more on my web page www.rvbprecision.com
Should be a fun trip!
