Review on ๐Ÿ”Š SMSL SA100 Bluetooth 5.0 Amplifier: 50W x 50W Power, 2-Channel Stereo Audio Amp, Treble Bass Desktop Amp (Blue) by Jason Rawls

Excellent upgrade from tripat TA2021

I bought the SMSL SA100 hoping it was an upgrade from my SMSL SA-S3. SA-S3 is a three channel amplifier with TA2021 chip. SA100 has a TPA3116D2 chip. When comparing two amplifiers, the SA100 sounds much clearer and more accurate. The highs, mids and lows are better separated while the SA3 sounds muddy. The SA100's volume control is also fine tuned, while the SA3's volume control was slightly louder in the left channel. It was driving me crazy but it can be fixed in Win10 audio settings. Add to that additional features like Bluetooth 5.0 combined with bass and treble controls and the SA100 is clearly the best amp out there. Big upgrade for sure. I have an SA100 paired with a Grace Designs SDAC. The perfect marriage in my opinion. My office setup sounds great now. Overall I am very happy with the purchase. Good job SMS! :)
