    Stereo amplifier, small, max ~350€ Buying advice

    Well... That is what I would get. But, you would have only 60w max in 8ohms and some measurements show even lower on multitone. Also 12db lower SINAD vs separates.

    Stereo amplifier, small, max ~350€ Buying advice

    I don't have it. It should. Around that budget you can get a SMSL DO100 PRO and dual Fosi V3 mono. A higher quality setup and monoblocks have audio sensing on/off.

    Stereo amplifier, small, max ~350€ Buying advice

    SMSL AO300 could work. https://www.audiosciencereview.com/forum/index.php?threads/new-product-smsl-ao300.47897/ https://www.amazon.de/AO300-Amplifier-CS43131-MA5332MS-Headphone-black/dp/B0CJRTCLXG Or A50 pro if you may plan a subwoofer later...

    WiiM Ultra

    Lack of balanced out makes it non optimal to use long runs, as in powered speakers or monoblocks placed next to speakers. Over Wiim pro plus it has hdmi arc and sub out. Don't really care about the screen or headphone amp. We'll see.

    SMSL PS100 *$30.00* DAC (some limitations apply)

    Thank you a lot. It looked tempting, but analog audio out off the tv may be of similar quality.

    SMSL DO100 PRO - HDMI ARC DAC

    Chromecast if you have wiim pro or Microsoft Edge cast to wiim mini DLNA. YMMV.

    SMSL DO100 PRO - HDMI ARC DAC

    You could stream to wiim from a computer with dlna or similar to avoid USB TO SPDIF and keep the SPDIF for TV. Actually, the reason I would love HDMI ARC is for wife acceptance factor. Wiim Ultra may be a solution but we will see the value proposition. I still don't see the value of a screen...

    Does my ideal DAC exist?

    Bluesound Node X, but it may miss 1. It hasn't been measured yet. And no EQ.

    Fosi Audio V3 Mono Amplifier Review

    It is very clean compared Aiyima A70, but still, there is a large drop in single ended vs balanced performance. Around 6db. It probably is from op amp circuit, but, if I have to guess, it is not the op amp itself but the socket. Which brings me to an old complaint: why do we, the majority that...

    SMSL DO100 PRO - HDMI ARC DAC

    "TVs have lots of naughties going on inside before it passes audio out over HDMI" TVs also decode various proprietary codecs, switch a lot of sources, allow volume control over hdmi etc V

    SMSL DO100 PRO - HDMI ARC DAC

    https://www.smsl-audio.com/portal/product/detail/id/866.html Rotary knob, balanced, largish 7 segment display, decent specs. It is as if Topping and SMSL are toying with us, one has PEQ, one has HDMI ARC. V

    Fosi v3 Mono | TPA3255 PFFB | Balanced | [First Look from Fosi FB]

    Why would you wire them in parallel to drive with a bridged amplifier? Why shouldn't you use two sets of wires and drive each coil separately? Honest question, i'm planning a car system.

    AIYIMA A70 Stereo Amplifier Review

    Now we know why Topping PA7 is a DUAL chip amp. To be fair, it always seemed far-fetched to run 500w through a single IC.
