4.0 out of 5 stars Lovely, high-end sound with some QC issues

2026-02-13    -Eric Rinehardt

This pint-sized little wonder sounds so good, I actually prefer bit to my $1300+ integrated amp. It ticks all the boxes I was looking for: optical input for TV, RCA for my turntable (with a built-in phono pre), and USB input for streaming from my computer. Plus, it has a remote, which is important to me for using with the TV. It lacks a headphone amp, but that's a fair trade off for the price point (I have an external headphone amp).Paired with my Elac DBR62 speakers, the sound is addictive, with bouncy bass, punchy mids, and sparkling highs. Sadly, it did take two tries to get a good one, as the remote stopped working on my first one within a day. As always, Amazon came through and sent a replacement within a day.

Mejor de lo que esperaba

Muy satisfecho con el equipo. Le dió vida a unas bocinas JBL E30 que estaban antes con un Yamaha pero que, al parecer, no tenía la potencia suficiente. Con música bien grabada los bajos son mucho más pronunciados y controlados, muy buen balance con medios. Los agudos no molestan.Ampliamente recomendado.

5.0 out of 5 stars Has its quirks but an incredible value still

I have this running a pair Klipsch RP-500ms. I also have an active Klipsch 12” amp connected to it. The sound is incredible for such a small and inexpensive amplifier. Not only do the speakers sound great, they can really climb in volume with this amp. I’ve yet to even get close to max volume. And even at high volumes the quality and clarity of the sound is excellent.I have a Wiim streamer running into the amp. I also found a great little dac that has an HDMI arc input. I have that running between my tv and the amplifier. Movies and even Amazon Music tv app sound incredible. The dac allows me to control the volume on the tv with the tv remote.One of the cons is the remote. It is as generic as can be. It works as needed though.Also, not only can you hear the power drain while the unit is off, it has sparked when plugging in a coaxial cable.Overall this amp has some quirks, but the upside far outweighs the downside. Definitely worth every penny so far.

5.0 out of 5 stars What a fantastic little amp

After much fan fare, great reviews (cheap audio man etc.) and waiting for it to finally come back in stock, I have to say I’m super pleased with this little beast. I have it hooked up to my Klipsch RP600M, Apple AirPort express via optical for Airplay2, and my turntable via Fosi Audio Box X2 preamp to the RCA inputs. I also have my Klipsch powered sub attached via the Aux out. The majority of my listening has been done via Apple Music through the optical/DAC. Right off bat, the sound is fantastic. The sound stage impressive for an amp this price, and once I had the tone controls dialed in (two pips down on the bass, three up on the treble for me!) the tone and texture are equally good. The tubes really do add a touch of warmth and soften the digital input (I’m looking forward to doing some tube rolling too). The Airplay is so good I’ve not even tried the the Bluetooth. One notable thing that should be mentioned is the power saving click. When the amp loses signal for 10 seconds in any input, there is an audible ‘click’. This can be off putting at first, but as I understand it, it’s a mechanism to prolong the life of the box. After a while I don’t even notice it, just know that it’s not the unit being defective, it’s by design. Oh and it’s even got a remote! Pretty basic, but does the job. Over all I can’t sing the praises high enough for this little amp, it offers fantastic bang for the buck and even looks super cool. The VU meter is a nice touch, though I never listen loud enough to get it jumping much!

Very cool

5.0 out of 5 stars This little amp sounds amazing

This amp Is magic, for the small size and the low cost it is just magic. This amplifier sounds better, to me, than a lot of more expensive amplifiers. it has very detail sound. Sounds better than my 1980's Kenwood amplifier(which I bought when I was just 17 years old). Sounds better than my Sony 2 Chanel amplifier. Does it blow them out of thee water? No, but to my ears it sounds better. The build quality is very good and the aesthetic design is really good too. Only issue I have is that remote should have more functionality, like having Bass, Treble and balance controls on it, and not having a bunch of none functioning buttons on it. It's a generic remote probably used with various Aiyima products. still the remote does control pwer on and off , volume up and down, mute and changing tracks with blutooth. Also the amplifier needs to warm up and breaking in before you get the best sound. It will sound a little thin the first time you turn it on but the sound gradually gets fuller and better (Much better) as you listen the first few hours. Probably breaking in the Vacuum tubes. Over all I am happy with the amp and glad I bought it.

Very cool

ディスクトップオーディオに最適

Bluetoothの接続が簡単で便利。音質は真空管の特徴なのか、柔らかく音に包まれる様。購入時の写真の真空管と送られて来たアンプの真空管が違っていたが、特に問題は無し。

4.0 out of 5 stars No Regrets

It is a great little amp for desktop usage. I have mine powering two Klipsch R-60M which are very sensitive speakers so they need very power to sound loud. The tubes that comes with the amp are very bright especially with these speakers. I had to buy two Riverstone GE 5684W tubes and they definitely toned down the brightness. Music sounds more full body.

5.0 out of 5 stars great power with a preamp, weak bluetooth volume- excellent sound quality.

Nice little amp, puts out just enough power for the home theater- just enough, almost not enough. Biggest complaint is when using bluetooth, even with the volume turned all the way up its just way too quiet, had to hardwire the inputs for decent volume. * update- I added a preamp, now it has more than enough volume when wired. Great sounding well balanced amp, hardly needed any preamp eq adjustments.
