Review on LOXJIE A10: Premium Class-D Stereo Power Amplifier for Audiophiles (Black) by Isaiah Bower

The A10 is a well designed and well built little speaker amp with some useful features that make it ideal for my use. Loxjie is a new brand (2018) with the same parent company as SMSL. The A10 is similar in many ways to other cool little class D amps. It powers my JBL desktop speakers perfectly, I hear no hiss, hiss or distortion. Plays pretty loud for my desktop use. Four things set it apart from other small, cheap amps: 1. Smart On/Off Switch - The front switch is electronic and has a smooth feel. Not mechanical, with a dim but clearly visible red (off) blue (on) LED indicator. It remembers its on/off state when the AC power is turned off. So you can plug it into a smart socket and turn it on and off as you wish. Useful when Alexa turns your system on or off.2. No POP on/off. There is absolutely no cracking when switching on and off. Protects speakers and does not irritate. 3. Solid aluminum chassis. Everything you see, including the volume knob, is solid and beautifully finished. My red is a bright matte metallic red, not matte. Cast aluminum won't dent or scratch and dissipates heat well. The volume control is smooth. Mechanical, not electronic, about 340 degrees from minimum to maximum volume. I have no channel imbalance. The rear speaker terminals are necessarily small, but they're solid and banana-plug compatible. This is probably the best choice for these tiny amps. Characteristic compact triangular body. Red variant. You can see photos. I think it looks great but you might not believe it. On the plus side, it's compact (7.5 inches long including the handle, 2.25 inches wide, 3.3 inches high), but you won't put anything on it. Great little amp. I look forward to more Loxjie stuff.
