Power Supply RF Noise Horrible

This could be a good product if it weren't for the poorly chosen power supply. The device began broadcasting local radio stations loud and clear because the thin power cable had no shielding. I've tried running the wire through several ferrite rings as a shield and even putting it on an extension cord while moving the power supply in a few places. The slightly muffled noise still made this product unsuitable for my audio. I don't want to test it unless I buy another dedicated power supplyโ€ฆ

Does the job right!

I am using Linux Mint in my shop with a regular SB16 sound card. The CD player's internal gain is not sufficient to drive my Kenwood amplifier properly. I connected this device between the sound card and the amplifier - and more than adequately solved the problem of input amplification without distortion and with sufficient headroom both at the level of the sound card and at the output of the amplifier. So much so that instead of the Kenwood L/R front set I added an old American Acousticsโ€ฆ

  • Decent performance

  • Something is wrong

High quality amplifier, best in home theater

When my cable company upgraded their cable boxes, the new ones didn't have the line outs I used to use for my self-powered speakers in my basement gym. I was forced to use the TV's digital optical output. Since the speakers didn't have optical inputs, I had to use a 3.18mm optical-to-analog converter. Unfortunately, it turned out that there was a large drop in performance due to the converter. I had to crank the speakers all the way up to get enough volume. I came across this article thatโ€ฆ

Works as advertised. Looks great and sounds great.

I wanted to stream music through my iPad to a sound system that would send sound to many rooms throughout the house. This installation was built into the construction of the house a few years ago and is somewhat outdated. It uses an old non-bluetooth receiver. I had a bluetooth to audio output converter left over from another project and it did a good job of transferring audio from my iPad to the old receiver, but the converter's output was lower than any of the others Sources, which negatively

Pros
  • Lots of positive vibes
Cons
  • Poorly thought out

Exactly what the doctor ordered and it cured my problem.

I was looking for a solution to amplify audio from a 3.5mm 4K PC monitor output to my powered studio monitors (speakers) with RCA jacks without adjusting the volume on each speaker separately have to. I ordered this little guy and it worked. It amplifies the output from my computer monitor to my studio monitors (speakers) with ease while sitting at my desk. The sound is very clear with no coloration, hum/hum/HF or distortion. There's a lot of headroom. This guy at 11-12 is getting so loud Iโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Multiple competitors

  • Unreliable

Just what I needed to improve the situation

I bought this to strengthen the line of my LCD TV. The volume was so low that I had to turn up the volume on my amp for up to three hours to even get a moderate sound. I ordered this in the hope that it would improve the situation. It is really important! I connected this little amp between the TV and the main amp and then turned it on along with my regular amp. After a few adjustments to the volume control, I found that the 11 o'clock position on my main amp now gave me a moderately loudโ€ฆ

  • Done

  • Some problems
