GaN amps: Peachtree or LSA Voyager?

Peachtree 400 and LSA Voyager GaN amps: Does anyone have direct experience with both of these amps? Can you comment on any differences that might exist in sound? I know the internals are supposed to be the same but even if that is true implementation can make a difference. Both are highly regarded by those who own them.

Might also be helpful if you listed the rest of your system (Pre and speakers).

My current system is: Bricasti M3 DAC; Rogue RP-7 (NOS) pre; Bel Canto Ref600M amps; Fyne F1-8 speakers.

Thanks in advance!

First off ...how can you own a GAN amp from underwood for 18 months.....  When it's only been out a few months. As to reviews..you can't complain of negative reviews..when the positive ones are used by the company. Yes audio science review

You need to double check how long the Voyager has been available. Much like other of your comments, this too makes no sense

I don't know if they got a bad amp - quality control issue?  However, my Voyager GAN modded by @ricevs sounds freaking awesome across the frequency band.  Highs and mids are pristine and crystalline clear.  Lows are nice.  I don't give a sheet how it measures, it sounds fantastic.

Thank you for all of your posts on this amp. The discussions you generated led me to this amp, albeit somewhat round about, and I am very happy with it. 

Can you characterize the sonic improvements resulting from Ric's mod? I do have his RF filters.
