    AIYIMA A07 TPA3255 Tear Down

    You may want to check the voltage rating of the internal components - Specifically the main capacitors and the voltage regulator chip. When the batteries are being charged the voltage can go way above the 54 Volts especially if you are charging from Solar Panels. Actually a DC to DC Power...

    Aiyima A07 PRO

    When was this released ? I only saw it on the Aiyima site this morning.

    AIYIMA D03 class D amplifier "Subjective review"

    The audio processor part of the chipset is the clever bit. I think this one actually has 8 channels of PWM output as it designed to be used in home cinema type setups with multi channels of audio. All “Digital” amplifiers convert to PWM for the output stage and then it’s just some nice fast...

    AIYIMA D03 class D amplifier "Subjective review"

    Hi Tony. The Aiyima D03 is a digital amplifier. The chipset has digital inputs if you check out the TI Datasheet. If you want analogue inputs for this chipset then you need an ADC in front of the amplifier chipset. This is exactly what you have in the D03 and potentially why the Digital...

    AIYIMA D03 class D amplifier "Subjective review"

    The Input sensitivity of the RCA inputs is : 0.775V. Many domestic sources may output lower than this. Professional gear tends to put out 2 volts in comparison. The Digital inputs appear to be much louder than the RCA Input for "normal" domestic sources. I certainly have to increase the...

    AIYIMA D03 class D amplifier "Subjective review"

    Hi Svinyard. I already use one of these amplifiers and the RCA inputs are OK but not as good as the Digital inputs. This is a Digital Amplifier so I would buy this if I was using the Digital inputs as the primary source. If your turntable is going to be the primary source them I would...

    Advice on Amp and USB-DAC

    Good little all rounder at very competitive price is the Aiyima D03. Offers excellent performance especially with digital inputs such as USB and Bluetooth. Very pleased with mine.

    AIYIMA D03 class D amplifier "Subjective review"

    I don't think this is the case with the D03 as the cut off frequency is defined in software and the sub will only provide the set of frequencies provided from the Sub out RCA connection. My understanding is this output is not the full frequency spectrum just the lower frequencies specifically...

    AIYIMA D03 class D amplifier "Subjective review"

    The D05 uses an Op Amp to provide the Filter for the Sub as the chipset used doesn't support a third channel natively. The D03 does all the processing within the DSP - including the Bass and Treble controls. There is actually no reason why the D05 should sound "Better" than the D03. In fact the...

    What is the best class d amp for max 200 euros for my demands

    From memory, I think the capacitors in the Aiyima A04 are rated at 35 volts so you might want to be careful using a 36 volt power supply for this model. My only reason for using a 24 volt power supply - normally turned up to 28/29 volts is they are very easy to find on eBay and usually no more...

    What is the best class d amp for max 200 euros for my demands

    I only use the 24 volt versions because they are very easy to find on the various selling sites. 36 volt versions only come up very rarely. Obviously if you are buying new it makes no difference.

    What is the best class d amp for max 200 euros for my demands

    If Bluetooth is going to be your primary source then go for the Aiyima D03. If RCA (Analogue) is your main source then go for Aiyima A04 or A07. And as above I would use a Mean Well Power Supply. A 24 volt one is more than adequate for most uses and the voltage can be turned up to 28 volts...

    AIYIMA D03 class D amplifier "Subjective review"

    . I have both the A07 and D03 amplifiers. I like both !! I also have several of the earlier generation A04 models which are also very good - These are the ones with the more sensitive inputs. The D03 Analogue input does not seem to be as sensitive as the A07 or earlier A04 amplifiers so will...

    AIYIMA D03 class D amplifier "Subjective review"

    I think this may well demonstrate where this amplifier is most likely to be used. If I am a typical user, I just don't have room for a Sub and the SQ I get from a couple of decent bookshelf sized speakers (KEF Q15) is good enough. Although this amplifier does work very well as the centre...
