I love the natural resolution of Leo’s hardware. Also, his customer service is exceptional. I actually also like the functional look. You cant listen to plated logos on an amp! Why pay for that! Often cosmetics are a crutch for substandard performance in many other brands.

A few months ago, I had Orchard Audio upgrade my Starkrimson Ultra Monoblocks to Ultra Premium LPSs. The communication was great and the upgrades were done fast. Leo, the owner and designer, sent me shipping labels. I am very happy that I did the upgrades! The LPSs have even better bass that the Ultras. I would also say that the imaging is better: it is easier to pick out the lines and position of individual instruments in orchestral tuttis. And I especially like the authority of the trombone presence! Drums -- especially tympani and bass drums -- are awsome; the transients are stunning and they can shake the room! Overall, my impression is that the Ultra Premium LPSs' sound is fuller, bigger, more detailed, and more dynamic. I previously owned a Sanders Magtech amp, and these Starkrimsons blow it away in every way. I am using them to drive Perlisten s7t speakers. I also have a pair of Rythmik G22 subs to fill out the deep bass. The subs integrate seamlessly with the Starkrimsons and the s7ts. Beautiful!

5 Channel Ultra Amplifier - my thoughts
This is an excellent value for the Home Theater Lover who is also a discernable Audiophile ! 5 dedicated high current switching power supplies for each channel.
Many of Leo's customers (including myself) loved the sound of his 2 channel Ultras so much that we'd built our versions of the multichannel Amps discussed here using either dedicated "Switchers" or a 40lbs. Toroidal mounted in a 10 pound chassis (me). Leo always was a great "Shaman" for how to best power his Ultra modules.
For the DIY challenged. This new form factor is a welcome addition to the Orchard Audio Amplifier Family. Go crazy and custom order a 4 channel Ultra Amp for your height channels ! Two chassis....9 channels !!!
I drive two Final Audio M12"+" Speakers, two Series 1 (1968) Bose 901's for the surround channels, and a Bose 901 Series 2 for my Center Channel. All 5 are demanding Speakers to drive. The 5 channels will get warm but Leo has plentiful slots for heat dissipation in his chassis design.
Don’t be shy….your Speakers will thank you later.

I've upgraded my Starkrimson Stereo Ultra 2.5 to the DMC version. Leo quickly answered my questions and shipped the upgrade kit in two days! I rewired the unit using wire ferrule terminals, no worrying about frayed wires. I've noticed how much quieter it sounds and how subtle background sounds are clearer. Thanks Leo.

Leo is great to work with and would recommend him and his products for your Audio requirements.
My experience with Leo. Converting my requirements into a design that is fit for purpose. Keeping me updated on the progress of the build process and the final Delivery.
Honest, Straight forward and value for money.

I have owned and listened to a lot of audio gear, but the Orchard Audio Starkrimson Ultra 2.5 DMC is one of those rare pieces that immediately makes you stop analyzing equipment and start rediscovering your music.
This amplifier has completely impressed me. The first thing that stood out was the combination of power, control, and refinement. It does not just play loud; it plays with authority. Bass is tight, fast, and controlled, the midrange is clean and natural, and the detail retrieval is outstanding without ever becoming harsh or fatiguing. There is a sense of speed, separation, and transparency that makes vocals and instruments feel more alive and more believable.
What I appreciate most is that the Starkrimson Ultra 2.5 DMC gives me the best parts of high-end amplification without the usual tradeoffs. It has the grip and dynamics you expect from a powerful amp, but it also has the finesse, openness, and musicality that make long listening sessions enjoyable. The soundstage opened up, imaging became more precise, and my speakers feel like they are being driven effortlessly.
Orchard Audio has built something truly special here. The design, performance, and value are all excellent, and Leo’s passion for what he builds comes through in the product. This is not just a great Class D amp or a great GaN amp, it is simply a great amplifier, period.
I could not be happier with the Starkrimson Ultra 2.5. It has taken my system to another level and reminded me why I love this hobby. Highly recommended.

I recently upgraded from the Starkrimson Ultra DCM 2.5 to the Ultra Premium LPS Monoblocks....as a long time "tube" guy, I absolutely adore these Orchard Audio GaN amps.
In shipment a large can capacitor came off it's board, can't imagine how UPS managed to do this, but none the less, Leo responded immediately and sent out a replacement capacitor....an easy fix. Love it!

I recently acquired the Pecanpi Streamer Ultra with the PiCorePlayer pre-installed. Since I have more experience using Volumio, I flashed a new micro SD card with the latest version of Volumio. I had a few questions and needed some guidance so I got on the phone and called Orchard Audio and got no answer, but almost immediately I received a text from Leo stating that he was not available to talk at that moment. So I texted my issue to him and he was more than willing to help me out. He was able to guide me with the IS2 driver to use and additional config tips to successfully configure Volumio. So thank you Leo for your awesome customer service.
So a quick personal review on the Pecan Pi Streamer Ultra performance. By no means I am a pro, but will give you my honest opinion on how the Streamer Ultra fared with my system. Let me start with the audio setup - Rogue Audio Cronus Magnum tube integrated amplifier, Magnepan LRS speakers, Zu Audio Speaker Cables, Schiit Audio Bifrost 2 Multibit DAC, Music Hall MMF 5.0 turntable with Denon DL103R MC cartridge and Blue Jean Cable interconnects.
When I asked Leo on which connection method would be better, the PecanPi DAC or through my Bifrost 2 DAC. He told me that the PecanPi should sound better. I listened to him and connected it via the RCA outs to my Cronus Magnum. I must admit, it sounds really good! I have tried different DACs over time - the Schiit Modius, the Bifrost 2, even the Yggdrasil, Topping D90... -- All of them sounded great with good soundstage and imaging, but I felt that there is a very ever so slightly lacking clarity on the upper mid highs, i.e. when the drumstick hits the cymbals... The PecanPi Streamer Ultra delivered. Do not get me wrong but the Bifrost 2 is an awesome DAC and will continue to use it. But the Ultra gave me what I have been wanting.
Just want to say, PecanPi Streamer Ultra earned my respect and will stay in my system. The Bifrost 2 and my DIY Raspberry Pi streamer with HifiBerry Digi+ Pro will go in my second system. Keep up the great work and awesome customer service, Leo!
Wish List for the Streamer Ultra - a power button.
