Review on 🔊 S.M.S.L SA300 HiFi Digital Amplifier, Class D Power Amp with Infineon's MA12070 Chip, RCA USB Bluetooth 5.0 APTX Input, Multiple EQ Modes - Remote Control Included (Black) by Kari Harden

I call it an amazing product but that assumes you can spend thousands of dollars on an integrated amp and in many ways you can get something much better. But when you understand where this product sits in the universe of choice and the hierarchy of value for money, you can't beat this little amp. Plug in two fairly efficient, high-quality speakers, and maybe a subwoofer, and you've got a great sound system for a small space. Easy setup: I bet anyone who understands what this is and is looking for an amp this small already knows how to do it. Unpack it and set it up in minutes without even looking at the instruction manual. Ease of use: The user interface is intuitive. Press the volume button and you will get the OSD menu. Rotate the knob to view options and press again to make a selection. The tiny size of the box makes it easy to place on or under a desk or on a shelf wherever you like. The speaker terminals are suitable for banana plugs. It has subwoofer output but no subwoofer control at all (no crossover or level) so I just run speaker wire through the high power input/output connectors on my subwoofer to my computer speakers. There are no optical or coaxial digital inputs, only USB, but there is Bluetooth. So it fits best into the audio gear universe in two places: 1. a near-field computer audio upgrade and/or 2. a small, personal audio system component for intimate listening, not for parties or large venues. For most of us, it's probably the same thing: a great computer audio system that doubles as a personal entertainment platform. It will not be a DJ dance system or an impressive home theater system. The lack of optical and coaxial inputs is a bit of a handicap when used in a home theater, aside from the fact that it's stereo or 2.1 and not surround sound. I particularly like the very gentle and gradual volume control. When you turn the volume knob, the volume increases very slowly instead of jumping in large increments, so this allows for very precise control. You can dial in the exact volume you want, which is good for a near-field application. Where this amp really shines is as a replacement for that over-the-top, unnecessarily large, old surround-sound receiver you've been using in a small listening room, or to power some entry-level audiophile passive speakers to power those underpowered, self-powered devices to replace speaker. you are tired
