New product from Audio-gd looks good to me for the price.

I'm interested; having considered all other Class A amps from Rebel, Flux Labs to Wells Audio Milo and others, this is a good power vs price option.

indeed please post reviews...any expereince with audio-gd gear? they look well built

It looks like the same preamp design as in NFB11.28 or R2R11 DAC and other A-GD (higher priced) products. From now your Denafrips will sound really good, it is no joke.

[Edit]. Nope, it looks much better (see later posts).

I reached him few months ago regarding a headphone amp + pre in a reasonable size, he noticed me regarding this product to be released. Definitely buying one.

No pricing or release date information on their site...frustrating.
Seems to be under $400 though.
Also nowhere to click BUY IT NOW..??

Price: USD3XX (Exclude shipping cost)

The product is not out yet, heard they're waiting for the chassis. The buy it now etc is just a template for now until product is released.

Thanks for the feedback.
We wait in anticipation!

Looking at measurements @A-GD website, Kingwa still need to do something. There is a 50Hz trace and even stronger 100Hz! It spreads over 7th harmonics, a big mess in PSU section.

The amp actually looks promising, there is a 2nd harmonic peaking -100dB (that should give a hint of tube amp), but absolutely no trace for 3rd and higher! This is an achievement for a non-feedback amp.

Kingwa still using Windows 7/8 by the looks of it...as did I until pretty recently when I was forced to upgrade.
Glad I did, Win 10 Pro is light years better IMO, certainly from an audio perspective.

Win10 audio subsystem had a long and painful transitional period since Creators release. It looks like is stable in the last few builds. BTW, Kingwa is not using windoze for listening, but measurements, so it doesn't matter.

Hi, is their affordable Class A having linear approach or their warmer house sound ?

No body yet knows, ask Kingwa.
TBH I'd prefer they organic and musical approach that got me addicted to the R2R11.
