    Aiyima A07 Max - Aiyima's new TPA3255 amplifier with mono/stereo output

    I heard that the Muses 02 is a very suitable match for this amp. Has anyone tried them or maybe the Muses 01 op amps? If so were you pleased or not with the results?

    That is certainly a very interesting option there. I have an M2 Air so I at not sure if this will work, I will look into it, thanks.

    Aiyima A07 Max - Aiyima's new TPA3255 amplifier with mono/stereo output

    Ordered the A07 Max today, can't wait! Every owner of the former A07 says the same thing, big improvement in sound quality with a fuller and warmer sound, more punch too. I have the 32 and 36 power bricks from Aiyima already but in my experience the 36v is best. I will team this little power amp...

    Just a point of topic, it sounds like a fairly well balanced amp with a slightly pronounced midrange. I would guess that the low end will probably a degree more wieght than the AO300. I have heard it compared to the Cambridge Audio AXA35 and personally I think the AXA35 has the edge but the...

    How would you compare the sound quality of the Nad 316Bee V2 to the AO300?

    I am keeping it. I think the sound quality is great, quite a sweet sound. I went through the steps where other people have problems ie the slight popping flicking through the sources and the display on and off. There is a very slight low hiss at full volume when not playing anything but no where...

    Maybe you could consider the Nad 316Bee V2…it is around the same price but no dac. Clean sound and well built.

    I thought this would be the case with the FW update which I believe is the only update available on SMSLs website for the AO300. One issue is after contacting SMSL is that it is only available for Windows OS. The FW update will not work with MacOs yet.

    AIYIMA A08 Pro Amplifier Review

    Adding the T8 to the A08 pro will allow you to control EQ and volume via remote control. You might find that it will smooth the digital nature of the A08 Pro because of the tube. I would try just the A08 Pro first (it has plenty of power to drive most speakers) then later maybe add the T8 if you...

    I dont have any issues with mine at apart a very minor semi pop when skipping through the sources. Tone is my favourite eq setting after configuring the bass to +2 and the treble at 0 this little amps sounds great. Definitely keeping mine as my main streaming amp. Just got to sort the firmware...

    I have to agree. A delicious amount of musical information given with precision and space. However the low frequency does lack a little detail and heft so the room for improvement, in my opinion, is in Infineon’s hands and not SMSL.

    Don't get me wrong, the AO300 is a very nice amp but for more bass heavy stuff it falls short in my house. It's a bit like comparing the Audiolab 6000a to the Rega Brio...anybody who knows those amps will know exactly what I am saying here. The AO300 reminds me of the Audiolab 6000a. The Aiyima...

    I have. I use a Belden cord with Furutech heads and against all skeptics including myself the difference is audible when compared to stock cables from sellers but then that really wouldn't be hard to achieve these days.
