    Fake AXA25/35 Knockoff on Amazon?

    I received a completely fake item, nothing even resembling a real amplifier (I received a small wrapped box 4-5 inches across, seemed empty since it was like a couple of ounces, I didn't even open it). Description apparently taken from AXA35/25 product from the well known British Amp Provider...

    Sabaj A30a announced

    It's an issue with the OS, picoplayer in this case. As a workaround, one can use a USB->optical converter and feed the Sabaj with optical cable. Also provides galavanic isolation. I used this with Volumio with similar USB issue...

    Sweet Sauce - What are the available chipsets for USB 2 SPDIF conversion (Not DAC integrated)

    A dongle, not chipset: Reiyin DA-02, about $22. Upto 96kbps/24-bit for toslink output I think. Works with PC/Android without needing driver installation. Optical output bypasses the DAC. https://amazon.com/Reiyin-Digital-Converter-Adapter-Optical/dp/B077D5PGV3

    250$-300$ Compact (powered) Bookshelf speakers that don't look ugly?

    Elac 4", currently ridiculously cheap for $68...are back ported so you'll need to leave feet or so between these and the wall. I have them and they are great. https://www.amazon.com/ELAC-4-Passive-Bookshelf-Speakers/dp/B08W9B2DBL

    AIYIMA A07 TPA3255 Review (Amplifier)

    I think those two inputs are likely shorted inside the box. Aiyima says: "3.5 mm AUX and RCA input port cannot be used as input at the same time."
