Class-D Audio USA have just released their new GaN amp at the CES


Class-D Audio USA have finally shown their GaN based Class-D at the CES, anyone see/hear it?
It should be well priced.
Wonder if they went the extra yards/cost for the higher 1.5mhz switching frequency, like the mighty Technics SE-R1.

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.

You might want to start a separate thread on the AGD amps when you get it.  That way we can follow yours and others thoughts on it without having to look at this thread.....which is now a thread on a $700 amp.  Your amp is something like $7500.  Different market for sure.  When the Premium-audio amp is released early next month then new owners can post here.

Any news on these GaN amps?

Yeah I asked JA of Stereophile just today if there’s a chance he could review/measure the new Technics SU-R1000

as it’s getting great reviews, this is the lastest one.

Not sure if any of you ever followed up and purchased one of these Gan Amps from Class D but I did and it sure is a nice amp.  I have the latest monoblocks  arriving soon from Class D also and am excited.   The now $750 stereo amp is quite the value.  I owned a Cherry Megaschino MK2 and only sold it as Tommy passed and repairs became impossible and I didn’t want to risk damaging it with no possibility of repair but I sure wish I had it here to compare.  Great amp.  Great price and great customer service.
