He was great but died quickly.

A year has passed. Operate efficient loudspeakers at 8 ohms. The correct channel and bluetooth didn't work today. So far, I've enjoyed a trouble-free listening experience with the auxiliary speaker input and output. I hope it's under warranty but I can't find any warranty information anywhere. I hate this. So I'll probably screw it up and it'll end up in a landfill. In any case, if left unfixed, it's just junk in a landfill. UPDATE: It was running solid again so I upped it back to 4 stars. Iโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Using Essentials tas5508c+tas5342a, DSP technology, SDB Embedded Audio patented
Cons
  • Newer model could have been selected

Sometimes "HORRIBLE LOUD STATIC " and moderate continuous line noise

I read several reviews before buying and others after. Maybe I have a bad block. I wrote it off as a loss. If you receive one that doesn't work well, return it immediately. I tried fiddling with mine for months but finally gave up. I have also used 1x SMSL SA50 and 3x SMSL SA98E amplifiers throughout the house and they have worked great. But I play and play with headphones so I wanted to replace my SA50. Have been buying everything from Gemini Doctor for several years and have had good dealings

Pros
  • This stereo audio amplifier supports coaxial USB analog Bluetooth and two optical inputs
Cons
  • Long delivery time

Small amp. great results. !

The SMSL AD18, despite its somewhat whimsical naming scheme, is an absolutely wonderful product.1. Installation is very simple, connect to the wall, connect to the computer, preferably via a digital output such as micro USB or optical, both are plug and play, no drivers required.2. It's more than capable of driving most reasonably impedance headphones, as far as I know it will work with 50 ohm sets, but it depends on how power hungry the banks are, my HE-400I gets very loud at max headphoneโ€ฆ

Pros
  • This is a multifunctional power amplifier with headphone amplifier and remote control
Cons
  • There are other interesting options.

Pros
  • Very good value for money
Cons
  • Unbelievable price

Received this little amp today and am very impressed. I've searched a bit for similar amps but there are very few of them for this particular unit. I really liked the look and compact size so I decided to take a chance. I'm glad I did! I'm pretty old fashioned when it comes to amps and have always viewed the typically large, heavy construction of the AB class as the only way to get quality sound. I never expected the tiny chip to at least be able to reproduce good sound at any real volume. Boyโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Great for a small home
Cons
  • Questionable purchase for the elderly
