I probably would still get the A5 if it didn't have PFFB, having HPF isn't new but the fact that Douk listened to feedback and changed the HPF range to something ACTUALLY usable AND could be defeated on top of the volume controlled line out is a big deal. Put it this way, if the A5 continues to...

If the person reading this thread is looking for the best measurements then sure the Fosi would be the way to go but I think I can speak for the majority of the people in this thread are here for PFFB with HPF as the key features. The A5 with these features is what pushed me to get my first...

I've been enjoying this amp paired with a SMSL PS200 DAC for the past few weeks but I've enjoyed taking back my desk space even more! It sounds at least as good as my beloved Onkyo A-9150 and replaced it as my daily driver PC audio set up. Crazy that the A5 including the power brick costs less...

I could hear subtle differences between all three, couldn't say which was better or worse but I agree that it could be mic placement, level matching plus a million other variables. But the fact that I had to sit through that "song" is the most regrettable part.

Are there any plans to make a integrated unit by combining the A5 with a DAC (something like the SMSL PS200 in capability and function)? Surely there are people like me who don't want to stack so many boxes and having a mess of cables. HPF (digitally adjustable) + if enough people ask for it...

The A5 is now back on aliexpress with the option to buy without a power brick!

HPF being switchable would definitely be nice! The new Douk audio A5 has most of the dream features that many of us wanted in a budget amp: PFFB and USABLE HPF range! EDIT: Has SWITCHABLE HPF! EDIT: I found the announcement thread on the A5 from Sept 2024 in the dealer section, great to see...

So tempted to get a SMSL PS200 DAC just to try this out. But I'm still holding out for the integrated version for double the price since that's what a good budget DAC costs. ONE power brick is enough for me!

Wow! Is the Douk A5 the budget amp dream come true? PFFB, AUX AND HPF??? I can accept no LPF on the AUX out since most active subs already have one. I hope they come out with a integrated version with USB/SPDIF input, variable sub out and remote. Basically like the Loxjie A30 but with PFFB...

If you're talking about what they offer at their price point then sure, they're great value. But it doesn't mean we should accept their draw backs if it could've been avoided. The Aiyima A70 is the best and most egregious example, doesn't it cost them (and subsequently us, the consumer) to...

You're spot on about everything, if they make the one product that does everything within a reasonable budget then people would only need to buy it once. For example the WiiM amp not having PFFB to the amp pro with PFFB and all products not being able to be used as a USB DAC could be...

Yeah sorry I should've worded it better, crossing the sub close to the limit of the main speakers

Even if we did get fixed high pass why do you want it to be 120Hz? If you're on this forum you probably at least have decent bookshelf speakers that can go down to 80-50Hz. Isn't the goal for a sub to be crossed as low as possible? But yes, if they can't implement variable high pass then its...

Agree with everything, will there be any manufacturers that can implement proper crossover/slope controls (high and/or low pass) with or without a DSP while keeping it at a certain price point?

I think I didn't word my first post correctly! I was meaning to say that having a high pass filter on the mains is much more preferable especially on a "PRO" model, most traditional amps still allow you to connect a sub or sub amp with crossover and phase control anyway. What is the buyer is...

Like what many have asked in the D1, D3 and D4 threads: Adjustable high pass filter for mains with usable range (40Hz to 120Hz for example) Adjustable low pass filter for sub with usable range (40Hz to 120Hz for example) If we can't have both then high pass filter for mains is preferred for...

Been lurking for so long and it just seems like they're just going in circles purposely not giving people what they want. Every thread on Chinese amps has people telling companies what they want but they just continue to ignore it. Why even have low pass when you don't amplify the sub channel...
