Review on ๐Ÿ”Š High-Quality Bluetooth 5.0 Power Amplifier 2 Channel Stereo Mini Hi-Fi Integrated Amp 2.0 - 50W x 2 USB Wireless Audio Receiver for Home Speakers & Headphones - Douk Audio Tone (Silver) by Jason Unruh

Revainrating 4 out of 5

This amp may be small, but it sounds fantastic!

I've had it for a few weeks now and it drives a pair of 35w 8 ohm Monoprice bookshelf speakers fairly well. I use it in the office in combination with the echo dot and everything goes very well. What I like: - Sturdy construction. This item is not cheap. - Great sound, crystal clear, warm "tube" clips. Seriously, this thing sounds great. - Bluetooth is easy to use and works very well - I use unbalanced line for echo dot and BT for my Mac or phone, it's perfect for office work. - All power conversion takes place outside the device, which means there is no noise. No one. I mentioned what does that sound great? - Great headphone amp as well as USB connectivity, you can use this in many different ways. For the money you will love it. However, there are a few things I found annoying enough to mention (and why I gave it 4 stars out of 5): - The auto shut off feature needs to be overridden. I have to keep turning this thing back on. This is my main complaint. My use case is playing music using only voice commands, which makes getting up to go to the other side of the room to turn the amp back on really annoying. Maybe it can wake up on input or something? - The volume meter is not very useful. It only appears when the volume is noticeably high, even when using 50 watt speakers. They mention in the guide that the VU meter doesn't show when the volume is too low, but their idea of low volume is very different from mine. - Remember I said the power transformer is outside of the device? This is a great thing because it isolates noise sources. But I wish the low voltage side of the power adapter (similar to a small laptop charger) was a bit longer. Its length is barely enough to reach the floor from a normal table height. Overall this is a great amp and for the price I wouldn't criticize it. This amp is a great addition to any audio lover's collection as it sounds fantastic, is small and can "pop" anywhere where you need it. and effortlessly drives speakers with up to 2 x 50 W. If I could control the auto shut off feature I would give it 5 stars. A volume meter that requires what I consider excessive power to work isn't a big deal to me, but it might be to you. That said, if you're looking at the same apps I describe, I *really* recommend buying them because the value of what you get far outweighs the small nits. I will definitely review other products from this manufacturer because this thing sounds amazing. Excessive power for work isn't a big deal for me, but maybe for you.
