I can't say enough about it!

Let me start by saying that I also bought a Fosi Class AB amp and I really like it. After watching a YouTube video showing the difference in sine waves between a class AB amp and a class D amp, I understood why class D amps have more distortion initially. Other than that, I don't know what the electrical engineers at Fosi did, but the sound you get at this price point is amazing! The first thing I did was plug it into a 24 volt 5.7 amp power supply from my SMSL AD18. Compared to the included AC adapter, which isn't bad, the sound really seemed to open up. The bass seems more pronounced but very tight, and the highs really open up at the other end. where to start The soundstage produced by this tiny amp is amazing. When I'm connected to the speakers in my bedroom, when I'm lying in bed and I close my eyes, it's very hard to tell where the speakers are actually located. The level of detail and clarity is great, I heard things in some of the songs that I hadn't noticed before. The channel separation is also impressive. Not sure if it's because I'm used to streaming through devices with their own built-in Bluetooth, so I'm asking the amp to do two things and do both well. The current setup is a BluDento connected with RCA cables. This unit is expected to produce high quality sound when connected via a coaxial or optical Toslink cable, but is expected to produce the best sound when connected to the stereo analog outputs. All I can say is that there appears to be no crosstalk between channels and the sound reproduced is attractive and immersive. It's durable and clean from top to bottom. It's just my 2 cents and your mileage may vary, but in my view this is a solid little audio amplifier. No frills, he only does one thing and I think he does it very well.

Pros
  • Great for me
Cons
  • No instructions
