   Certainly switchmode, not linear.   
      
   There are a bunch of named classes, but all are basically class D.   
      
   GaNs can switch really fast, which for a given power makes things   
   small.  Aside from that, they have no real advantages over mosfets.   
      
   A delta-sigma GaN amp might be fun.   
      
   But audio makes no sense, which is why people still spend big on   
   turntables and tubes.
