GaN amplifier from GaN themselves limited supply!!!



There is this integrated GaN , made by GaN themselves, so you know it "should" be good.
(Could very well be the best of all GaN amps)
(single purchase only, not available for multi purchase for commercial Class-D manufactures)

But you’ll have to put it in a box, comes with all you need, the amp and power supply, and dac??!!!
(if you can build simple kits you can build this, would it quite simple to make up)
.
You have with it:
Volume control
3 x switchable inputs
2 x Analog stereo inputs rca & jack
2 x digital spdif inputs, optical and coax (yes it has a dac in it too)
And this is neat, user variable negative feedback!!! for those that don’t like too much for the sake of "better" measurements" and want a more organic sound, all for just $1.3K

I see three camps here, but I've not read every post, so there could be more.   Two seem very knowledgeable but are on opposite sides of the fence with respect to the viability of this DIY GAN integrated "opportunity".

I am in the camp with Arch2--isnt' this stuff made with elfin magic that I do NOT posses?  Seriously, I view what Ralph and Ric point out as good examples of what I subscribe to:  You don't know what you don't know...  Until you study up and practice in a given area of endeavor...and then you do start to know what end is up.  I would like to build a speaker one day, but ignoring the fact that one could buy the parts and invest the time and be unhappy with the end result would be well ignore-ant. Lol.
