Is D-Sonics audio still in business

Another vote for any of the Bel Canto products, really well made and great sounding.

@alucard19 GAN is Class D. I was going to return my GAN400 to Peachtree (trial period). I had it all packed and ready to go but decided to give it another go with my subwoofer in new location. I got some 15-foot RCA cables from Benchmark to make the sub positioning more flexible.

Well, that did the trick, and I am now keeping the GAN400. It is an above average sound with the sub in a better spot. I am using $995 Magnepan LRS+ in a small room.

A great Class D amp is a EVS modded Peachtree GAN1. This is incredible but a PIA to use. I think the GAN1 design has a great future.

See Daniel Hertz Maria amps (maybe the same as my GAN1, but more features).

@yyzsantabarbara,  Wow those Daniel Hertz amps are expensive, I was just looking to get my son some inexpensive Class D amps that had enough power to drive what ever speakers he has, that was why I was looking into the D-Sonic amps they have plenty of power and are only around 1K each for the mono style.

I like my son but I'm not rich, I'm just trying to get him something that is easy to set up and still sound good.

Thanks for the link but I will have to pass on those amps.

@yyzsantabarbara not all GaN amplifiers are Class D. Take a look at the Gold Note PA-10  I have two operating in Bridged mode with an SPL Phonitor 2 as a preamp and they are spectacular.  

I also agree that the Bel Canto products are well built and sound great.

The PA-10 features quite an interesting design. It is not a Class D amplifier but it leverages a new technology that uses MOSFETs for the output stage, in common with the Class D, featuring an output oscillator (GaN Mosfets with Gallium Nitride), a proprietary design that actually doubles the power of the amplifier when reducing the impedance – exactly as a pure Class A but with extremely high efficiency to deliver great amounts of energy.” So there you have it.

What may surprise you is despite its great power for such a small box, it's not a Class D amplifier.  

"It's actually an A/B amplifier, but it uses a switching mode digital power supply, which allows it to get more power in a smaller chassis,"

@alucard19 I do not own the DH Maria amp. I just linked to it because I think it is the same design as the PeachTree GAN1. The GAN1 is $1500. I have about $600 mods on top of that. I think it is a rather great amp just hindered by the limited connectivity and the SPDIF requirement.

I expect other companies like DH to follow a similar design.

@recklesskelly I learned something new about GAN and Class D.
