    Good value for money

    This amp works well (3 days). The optical analogue and Bluetooth inputs work perfectly, as does the auxiliary output. I can't measure the power output, but based on my experience with other budget class D amps, this one is close to the advertised power. The included remote control is simple but excellent. I'd really like to find a Nero Link XD available somewhere to pair with multi-room audio capabilities. Overall, this amp is a good option for small to medium sized rooms. If it continues to…

    Good amp for WORK.

    This is a simple amplifier. does the job. Not too fancy. A BIG complaint, the line pass should also work for a monitor signal or give a choice. EDIT: Didn't notice until my better half pointed it out since I don't really sit in a room where the amps aren't playing any sound. There is a click/clap every few minutes when no sound is playing. almost like a feedback loop but not there when the music is playing. Pretty annoying. Useless as the whole system seems cheap. Ironically, this is the…

    • Ideal for outdoor activities

    Surprising receivers and amps

    This little amp has more features and more power than it promises. Yes, it has Bluetooth and wireless connectivity and works with popular streaming apps as advertised. But even once I launched it and connected it to my iPad via the OSD app, I was able to transfer files using Plex and see and play the music files that were on my file server directly. This included high-resolution FLAC and DSD files, just like streaming file servers cost hundreds more. This amp is modest but quiet and works well…

    • Decent performance

    Superb class D performance

    I was looking for a bridged class D stereo amplifier and found the OSD menu. Did a little research and found out they are a California based audio engineering company. The XMP100 with OSD works great. The amp sounds great with vintage B&O Beovox RL35 speakers. There is no digital "feel" of sound. Good, smooth handling and very light with a small footprint. I really liked the equalizer function. I cranked the volume all the way up with no audio input and I couldn't hear any hissing from my…

    Pros
    • Slim design
    Cons
    • Loudness

    This is really very cool!

    There are two sources in my bathroom. A TV with fixed and variable RCA outputs, as well as an echo dot that also has two RCAs via a dedicated cable. These two sources are inputs to this amplifier. I have a TV as the main input and ALEXA as the "interrupting" input. When I ask Alexa to do something, the amp immediately switches to Alexa and temporarily mutes the TV while Alexa speaks. Once Alexa is done, it will automatically switch back to the TV after a few seconds WITHOUT any intervention. I…

    • Not cheap but decent

    • Nothing

    Returned defective and not refunded $45 of my purchase price

    I really like this amp, it was perfect for an outdoor setup, but after a week or two the volume started to go up on its own. I thought it might be caused by other remotes or my IR extender but I replaced the IR extender and all the cables and it still failed. The weirdest thing I've ever seen installing and I've been in the AV business for over 35 years. I tried calling OSD support, left a message, sent several emails with no response and finally Revain support contacted someone there and the…

    Pros
    • Great construction
    Cons
    • Crumpled packaging
