@maw8c Any update on your impressions of the amp?
Anyone hear the Class D Audio Mini GaN 5 amp yet?
Looks intriguing but not much out there on it yet so wondering if anyone here has had a chance to hear it or, even better, had a chance to compare it to other amps. Thinking of taking a flier on this amp given the tech and price, but we all know implementation is everything so looking for some real-world impressions before ponying up any dough. Also, please let’s not make this yet another measurement debate — I’m purely interested in sonic impressions here so take your measurement comments elsewhere. Thanks.

@evank this is unfortunate to hear about. I just suggested a friend look into this amp to hook up to his Sprout 2 to give more power and have better sound. He’s looking into the latest Magnapans (around $1k- I forget which model) I’m really interested in a 5 channel GAN amp for home theater if anyone knows of one (preferably reasonably priced) ClassD said a while back they might make one, but haven’t seen any word about it. |
I was hoping the problem could have been solved. Plenty of people are using these amps with no problems. I switched preamps and cables and still had a problem. My own amp back in the chain and no problems before or after. Let's hope they can figure it out. Bench testing would not work I don't think if it's intermittent. @soix Love the GaN Fets just couldn't give this one run through,sorry |
@evank It might be helpful to describe your system in detail to understand the context in which you tried these amps. |
