New Amp Technology from Digital Amplifier Company

If its a 'NEW' technology, why use the same name(or derivative) of the "OLD" technology?
NEW should have a new name/lineage...if you want to stick with the fruit thing, how about Plum ***, or Mango ***, or some other fruit...?

I like Plum. or Plumb 'cause that's what it'll do to the bass!

Looking forward to hearing it (Or will it be them? as in monos?)

If there are op-amps involved we gotta look for the best, after what I've heard from my EE dac.

Yup, we'd discussed this before but it was in regards to a Bass Amp...

As before, I think another "Stone Fruit" or "Drupe" is in order...

Quote from: Fruits Encyclopedia

Some flowering plants that produce drupes are coffee, jujube, mango, olive, most palms (including date, coconut and oil palms), pistachio, and all members of the genus Prunus, including the almond (in which the mesocarp is somewhat leathery), apricot, cherry, damson, nectarine, peach, and plum.

Well that may be a mouth-full, but: Almond, Olive, Peach, or Plum, could be a cool names for an amp. Cool colors for the face-plates too

Cherry Jubilee!
Cherries jubilee is a terrific dessert.
Jubilee is a celebration.
You are celebrating a new design/era for the Cherry line.

The first variant will probably be 200W. It will be a mono amo. SNR target is >120dB. THD target is <0.0009%. Drive down to 1 ohm. Low feedback design with ultra low output impedance. RCA and XLR inputs. Build like a little tank.

As far names go, I like Plumb the best so far. So here you have it, just in case, PLUMB Amplifier (TM)!

Higher power planned sometime in the future. Prototypes this summer. Thanks for the comments. Keep 'em coming.....

Plumb as in perfectly vertical?

That's plum crazy. A plumb bob?

what about
sweet cherry or wild cherry

No, the Marashino. Perfect for the Stereophile page.

cherry slam!

How about a name that sounds more like an amplifier and less like a lip-gloss flavor

Any thoughts on internal versus external power supply? We are hashing out this detail now and think offering both linear and switching supply options may be beneficial (external).

Also, 300W may be our new base target, but we'd like to know if that's really enough of a difference to make the design slightly more complicated to accommodate the extra power.

One more thing.... It's possible to add a selector switch for additional control for very low impedance which would cost a slight decrease in SNR. Is there any interest in that?

We hope the audio community appreciates our reaching out to them for feedback as we complete our design phase. If there are any special needs that we haven't mentioned, please let us know. We plan to offer customization, but would like to satisfy our customers ahead of the curve so we can deliver a product that challenges the "usual stuff". Thanks as always!

Could a battery supply be an option?

Tommy,
Exciting stuff!
Can't wait to hear more about it.
All in good time.
