thanks might check that out after putting an heat sink on the power chip, even if it's not needed couldn't hurt to keep the chip running cooler.

Hawthorne Audio Silver Iris (coaxial tweeter - horn driver type).

Got my BRU5 now (TPA3244) only $27 on AliExpress. Haven't yet done any detailed listening to it. Just played it via Bluetooth so far. Sounds smoother or less bright than my other cheap dual-TPA3116d2 AIO but oddly doesn't have as much max volume ability. Currently using a 19V 3A PS - an old...

did you buy/import this? pls see DM, thanks.

That sucks, well should be an easy fix if you're a solder slinger? Paying someone else to repair it would prob cost more than the device itself. "Had to play with it patiently to even get it to work because the Bluetooth kept interfering" BT interfering with what? My tpa3244 BRU5 took only...

+1 I feel the same about this. Anyway, your amp, and more so your speakers and your room is gonna make a bigger difference.

No not my device. I just ordered the BRU5 TPA3244 version, waiting for arrival. I don't need the extra power of the tpa3255.

see below. Btw, wow that looks like a very cheap and prob low quality volume pot. Would it be easy to replace or bypass altogether? What other mod's could be worth trying?

Maybe so, it depends. The ask is a bit easier if using TPA3116 or MA12070 chips (used in other O-Noorus amps) which are powerful enough for my use/speakers. The AL200 is 4-5 times more expensive and certainly overkill power-wise for my 96db/1w speakers. And will it sound 4X better?

this isn't self amplified which i want, and it's twice the price of most of the O-Noorus devices. I get that there are better sounding choices out there.

still not much discussion on these O-Noorus MA12070 amps. I'm hoping to gain more insights, I posted about them here: :rolleyes: https://www.diyaudio.com/community/threads/which-class-d-amp-to-get-from-aliexpress.379676/post-7480882 I've not been able to find internal pics of the PA80 but here...

well more importantly... how the heck does it sound?

I doubt the T9 Pro sounds the same esp with good revealing speakers. All the chips and the tubes are different. How on earth could it sound the same witha a completely different circuit design?

A A07 is a diff chip tpa3255 right? This chip is max 48v I think.

Board not designed for max voltage prob for cost/benefit reasons.. diminished return
