🎧 Dared MP-5BT Stereo Vacuum Tube Integrated Amplifier, Hybrid Amplifier with Bluetooth Connection, USB/DAC Input, Headphone Output, Pre Output, 25Wx2, including Tubes 6N1x1, 6N2x1, 6E2x1 Review

Nice device straight out of the box. I installed it where I wanted to use it and tried to pair my LG Stylo 5 and it took 3-4 times to pair. I then tried connecting my wife's phone, a Samsung Galaxy S9, to it and it connected the first time. Now the device does not recognize my phone at all. I then hooked up a Marantz 3200 preamp to the unit and they seem to work well together. After about 2 hours they stopped liking each other and the sound started whistling. I thought it was my preamp. So I…

This is the first Revain review I want to write. I bought this amp because of a problem with the McIntosh C31-V preamp. (Yes audio lovers, even McIntosh has issues sometimes!) I use it as a headphone preamp and bought it through New Song after several people commented that Connie in particular was amazing at accommodating their needs. It arrived in no time and I was blown away by the sound it produced, apart from being an intriguing device, largely due to the 6E2's "magic eye". At the age of…

Name: I like this amplifier with warm sound. I've never written a review for anything I've bought before. I love this little amp so much that I just had to say something about it. I bought this amp based on the reviews and I'm sure I'm glad I did. The amp was easy to set up as all you have to do is take it out of the box, connect the speaker wires and plug in. Bluetooth amplifier is amazing! I live in a 1200 square foot house so space is important to me. I can walk into any room in my house and

I'm new to Home Audio and after a lot of testing and research I bought my first bookshelf speakers, a Triangle Br03, I also bought my first amp, a cheap Douk tube amp for about $200. Being new to this hobby, I've tried to keep my budget under $1,000. The $200 Douk amp did a fantastic job for the price, powered my speakers great and sounded great. I wanted to keep it but wanted to buy an amp for around $500-$1000 so unfortunately I returned it. Then I bought an Audiolab 6000A. At 3/4 times the…

Let me start with a few quick facts: I'm an electrical engineer who loves quality audio equipment. I've serviced, repaired/rebuilt everything, from McIntosh, Pioneer, Marantz, Rotel, NAD, du NAIM (sorry, that was some audiophile humor). I bought a Darer MP-5BT on the recommendation of a friend. I was a little skeptical as I rarely find a modern tube amp that meets all my needs. However, my friend loved it and the price was right, so I thought it might be worth a try. First impressions: 1)…

After various power tube and noise issues with my A10 and A20 I thought I could move my solid state amplifier Onkyo 9150 Sound paired with Klipsch RP600M. This prompted me to look for another tube option, but perhaps a hybrid offering. This cool little block seemed to fit the bill well. The Bluetooth, USB input and headphone jack were nice bonuses, but I only wanted to use it as an amplifier and my topping E30 was a DAC and volume control. A50. Weighing only about 8 pounds, both the cabinet and
