Hi George,
Yes, our new GaN amp was just at the CES show a few weeks ago, and was a big success. If you email me tomorrow and remind me, I can provide more information... I’ll try to remember to email when I get to work, but sometimes I get pulled many directions when I get there.

Their main website is very dead and empty of product, it says reconstructing https://www.classdaudio.com/ The new GaN poweramp is $699!!!!! Is on their premium website, same problems as above https://ibb.co/jy8wpNS https://premium-audio.com/ Cheers George |
I don't know if you are asking about the class D audio or the AGD......but I emailed Tom at Class D audio a week ago and here is the latest info on class D audio GaN amps: The $1600 amp is going through a revision (release time unknown). There is a $700 GaN amp that will soon be released. Just finishing the powder coating now.....then to silk screening....then to final testing and then shipping. It will be 150 watts a channel, 100K input impedance, 3 position gain, balanced and unbalanced inputs and uses a switching power supply to keep the cost and size down. It is 10 inches wide and 2 inches tall. Will be the cheapest GaN amp available. Should be fun. https://premium-audio.com/ Let the page load and then it will scroll to show a pic of the new baby amp (labeled "The Giant"). |
Before Covid-19 i was able to audition just about every Class-D amp available. To ME they have all sounded like SS on steroids and unnatural much like when CD players first hit the market. My question, do these GaN Class-d amps sound real and natural? Or are they bringing more of the same just in a different package? I could careless about the tech the sound could be coming out of the exhaust of a Ford Pinto i don`t care but it needs to sound real. |
