Best Class D GaNFET Amp Comparison. Who to invite?
Mola, NAD and Bel Canto are not GaN based amps. And because it uses GaNs does not make it the best amp. Everything makes a difference. Then there are modded amps.....like my modded Peachtree GaN1 digital amp.....which is different from the analog ...

Niodari, Please see the Gan 1 thread for a description of the mods.  Of course, we all use our own sonic preferences......there is no objective reality in audio....everything sounds different and there is no consensus.  However, all those (95+%) ...

Yes, I AM convinced that we cannot measure everything we hear......in fact, most things we hear cannot.....at all....be measured. All wires, direction of wires, all jacks, all fuses, all capacitors, all brands of solder, etc. into infinity sound d... 
Peachtree GaN 1 Beta
I was the world leading pusher of this technology based on my past knowledge and what others said about it.......but, when I listened to the stock GaN1 it was not what I thought it was......now it is. You can read anything into this you like. I te... 
Best DACs under $7,000.00
Mods now done to the Peachtree GaN1 amp......This ($2000 with mods) PowerDAC is now outrageous.  Info on Peachtree amp thread and on my website.

The only problem there is ......is you thinking something is wrong.....with your self and therefore with others......You are amazing and totally loved. Thank you for your LOVE.....whenever or wherever you feel and express it. You are beautiful......

Assume means......make and ass out of u and me.......usually it means make an ass out of oneself.  When you assume.....you think you know something you really don't know. The amp is protected by the fuse on the power supply....it is not soldered ...

I changed the caps to polypropylene. The small polyprop Wimas (not any other larger series) with my mods are more transparent that practically any capacitor in the world. Also, you need a small part as you do not want to radiate noise (this is one... 
Peachtree GaN 1 Beta
You only need one fuse in an amp to protect it.....It has a fuse on the power supply....you DO NOT need two fuses in a row.  The coil on the output wire is not needed.  Atmasphere, Purifi, Hypex, Orchard, LSA, etc. do not use an extra coil on the...

"Objective performance has never been proven to mean anything sonically.....so there is no need to discuss it, the only thing worth discussing is how it sounds"...... This statement is the opposite of what was just stated above. Who is correct? I...

Here is my experience with the GaN 1: 1.Did not sound good stock.....very grainy, dry and harsh. Some of the problem is that you have to play it for at least an hour before it really performs.....this could be the turn on warmup of my streamer as...

The ego finds it easy to nitpick and cause a fuss and pretend to KNOW tthngs (I know, I have been there)......however, The SOUL wants everyone to be happy. It praises and celebrates every single second and every single person.  I celebrate everyon...

Dude, You are wrong.  Class D almost always uses PWM.   Please read this article and get informed:   Doing one more mod to the amp here and then will return it to the owner.  All info will be on my website by the end of the week.    
Peachtree GaN 1 Beta
The GaN 1 only has coax input. So if you have a source that has usb only then you need a digital to digital converter to change it to coax. Your source would need volume control. You can use the volume control in a lot of programs like Roon, etc. ...

Another vote for full digital class D.  The Peachtree Gan 1 ($1400) or the $1600 VTV D300 (also GaN based) amps are as above....fully digital driven PWM....so no DAC or preamp needed.  Right now I am finishing mods on the GaN 1 and driven by a $40...
