The revolution has begun!
No, a digital amp does not have a DAC in it.....it is the DAC. This is not a normal Class D amp and should not be compared to it. A normal class D amp needs a DAC in front of it and has analog stages in it with feedback. This has no feedback, no o...

Don’t think Bruno has ever mentioned digital based Class D. He uses normal class D with TONS of feedback. The digital amps have NO feedback. Regular class D needs a DAC in front of it......the digital amps do not. Very different. What is interesti...

This is not a "normal Class D amp".  It changes PCM to PWM in software and then drives a GaN based class D output stage.  It is basically a DAC....a power DAC.  The advantage is.....no preamp, no normal DAC, no normal amp and no analog cables in b...

Not in the sense you mean, only make and do a few tweaks/mods. I am excited about these digital amps and the possibilities for incredible sound.....have been around and in the business since the mid 70s.

Ralph, When will your digital amp be available? We don’t need no stinkin DACs, preamps and normal feedback amps!....he he. And the fact that we can use digital xovers and equalitzaion without extra DACs and amps is incredible....way more pure and ...

When you do not know that EVERYTHING makes a difference then you concentrate on the only things you can see/know. 24/192 might sound a little better than 24/96 into the amp.......but there are so many things that make WAY more difference than that...

First, very rough draft.....way more to come.....please feel free to contact me about anything that might be added, helpful or incorrect.  This link is going to be sent to reviewers, manufacturers and posted on forums all over the world.....I am s...

Yes, lots of used GaN350s out there.  Looks like LSA has discontinued it and are probably working up an amp based on the much better sounding digital boards from EAS (if you talk to EAS they will tell you that the digital boards are more transpare...

Yup, you will have to use a converter.....usb to coax. Here is one of many: https://www.sonore.us/ultraDigital.html There will be units with multiple inputs, including usb input, volume control built in, xover/equalizer built in and multichannel... 
Best DACs under $7,000.00
Do not ever trust the word of someone you do not know personally....including me. Please read the GaN 1 thread for the 7 current reviews of the amp and you will see this exploding soon. The only hands on that is important is your hand......Try one...

Very good.  How will you be getting the digital signal to the coax input on the GaN 1 and how are you controlling the volume?.....ie. what is your signal path before the GaN1? You could bi-amp and make your own speaker that might sound better tha... 
Best DACs under $7,000.00
I do have an agenda. I want everyone to be happy and have the best stereo they can at the cheapest price. I have enthusiasm......comes for the greek....meaning: "be inspired or possessed by a god" God animates us.....wants us to live our life wi... 
Best DACs under $7,000.00
STOP IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You no longer need a DAC....the best DAC is NO DAC. Please read the Peachtree Gan 1 beta thread on the amplifier board. A guy had a Holo May KTE and a Holo Serene preamp and the Kinki labs B7 monos with great cables in ... 
Ditching Class A Amps due to Heat - Sort of a Poll
WFS probably has the EAS GaN digital amp boards and is testing them. Digital amps are the future....all DACs, preamps, and normal amps are now officially history.....he he. If you play CDs only, the best sound will be to burn the CD (with treatmen... 
Ditching Class A Amps due to Heat - Sort of a Poll
Digital GaN amps are another step up in sonic purity from class A, class A/B and normal Class D (including GaNs). NO DAC, NO PREAMP, NO ANALOG INTERCONNECTS, NO FEEDBACK, NO HEAT.......just super sound. The only one available right now that makes ...
