GAN amp/Mytech

GAN is the type of transistor that has very fast switching and is used mostly in Class D for the speed.

AI/Google is your friend but you left some out.....
How GaN FETs Work in Class D
    • High-Speed Switching: GaN transistors switch significantly faster (often well into the megahertz range) and cleaner than standard silicon transistors. [1, 2]
    • Cleaner Waveforms: The extreme speed allows the amplifier to reconstruct the audio waveform with far less dead-time distortion and cleaner pulse-width modulation (PWM). [1]
    • Less Heat and Size: Because switching losses are minimal, GaN Class D amplifiers run very cool and can eliminate the need for bulky heatsinks or large output components. [1, 2]

Apparently AI is, your, friend. Surprised you need it since you tried to be Mr. Know It All to Randy, splitting hairs actually.

Class D discussions seem to just go in circles. An extra 0 in THD may get the ASR people wood but it means nothing especially to Class D that can sound like crap while providing great specs. Like any other amp it's a total package not just a good module or transistor whichever the application.

Are you able to have any discussion without being a jerk?

I am very aware it is the entire package Mr Peabody. Not an ASR guy never have been. Do love my GaN Amps as well as my hybrid entirely based on system synergy. Many toss the baby out with the bathwater when they introduce a new topology with out those considerations. Look at my EQ list and you will see I run the gambit in my systems and the all sound fantastic due to this thing called synergy from front to back. You are more the all knowing so I will bid you farewell and hope you can find peace and new releases. :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

I 100% understand this, and as you said used mostly in Class D amplifiers. Pretty much synonymous with the latest Class D technology, even though some people like to split hairs and separate the tech versus where it is used.

I'm not sure there would be much reason to use GanFET in any other class of amp. Maybe in fully digital dac amps but I think those are essentially class D.
