    Great review! Sounds like a really simple and affordable way to get serious sound value.
  • @net_news
    Digital only GaN wow, this the most interesting audio device in a long long time! 🙌
  • V. nice review/presentation. You replied many of my questions. Really appreciated. Nice intervention from King Godzilla too. Thank you both.
  • @skzeeman007
    Excellent review. Thanks! I have the Peachtree Nova 150 and sounds great with my LS50 Metas. Excited to try Peachtree’s GanFET amplifiers.
  • Hey man, great review. More importantly though, you turned me on to the Gizz. How did I miss these guys? Amazing.
  • Orchard Audio and I have a shit ton of GaN Amps in stock ! Excellent review as always Jord. Happy New Year my friend,
  • The GaN-1 is a true digital amplifier that accepts only digital signals. I used the Minidsp SHD Studio to pair with the GaN-1. The lossless DSP volume control(no bit truncation) of the MiniDSP makes it a perfect match with the GaN-1 and the result is phenomenal.

    Nice one squirrel. intriguing
  • I have the Gan400 and I am very pleased with the sound. It drives my Magnepans . I have LRS+, 1.7, mcmg, and 3.6s. As well as totem model 1 signature. The amplifier will drive anything that I can throw at it.
  • @Dan-iy8ig
    Really appreciate your video. I just need to make sure I can hook up my TV and it sounds like I might be able to do that through the blue sound
  • GanFet is fkn awesome. There are a few brands using it ..but rare still. Orchard Audio sells kits for DIY amp chassis. This one .. can be DAC/ preamp direct.. whish is great.. but doesn't fit in older systems with a classic preamp. etc. Im all in .. Great to get this out there!
  • Just received GaN1 and my first impression is great! I think NAD M33 may need an upgrade. This sounds better than Michi X3. Enjoyed watching your review. I also find roon difficult operating. I own Antipodes K50, Vault2i, MiniDSP SHD studio, Aurender N20. I have trouble setting it up with roon cores, simply they didn’t work after new roon updates. 😢 need to figure out. I found somewhat bright and harsh in highs with GaN1. Gonna find out if streamer makes difference. I tested GaN1 with Devore O/96, Mon Acoustic PlatiMon VC One, and B&W805 D3. All sounded amazing with GaN1. Very impressive for the price! 🎉🎉🎉

    I ordered a Gan 1 and will be pairing it with an Eversolo DMP-6A streamer. Should be interesting.
  • Very interesting! Glad you tested the amp with the Klipsch Speakers! I‘m thinking about getting a pair of Forte IV or Sourcepoint 10s. I‘m still undecided. The amp/streamer combo really could work. What do you mean by saying that HDMI doesn‘t work with some TVs? As an alternative, I thought about a Leak Stereo 230 and an Ifi Zen Streamer.
  • I usually use an ultraRendu with the Singxer SU-6 but just changed to the new Holo Audio Red (streamer with zero jitter out direct to the GaN1). Control via Roon including volume. Hope you try it. More clarity than the Holo Audio May KTE plus Serene going to a Pass X250.8. Way cheaper (similar cost to the cables alone on the other system), runs cool and way less power consumption.

    I’m running the GaN1 with the Node combo, but I upgraded to the Teddy Pardo lps for the node and also use a ifi spdif purifier2 on the coax. The GaN1 is a revelation and my Triangles have never sounded better. Replaced a Rega Elex R and NAD C658 with the GaN1/Node. Only complaint is the lossy digital volume on the Node. Will look to upgrade that in the future. Eyeing the Lumin U2 mini or the new ifi Neo Stream, potentially. Any recommendations?
  • Big props for your (production) quality. Very pleasant to watch! Question: I did hear some say the gan fet tech might bring potential for a tube sound in a solid state. It seems like this isn’t the case with the GAN1. > Is that correct and do you know of any other amps that are able to do this besides the Vincent SV237mk(2) or Kinki Audio CHoco?
