This Orchard Audio GaN amp costs You almost 4.450USD delivered to Your home. That is almost 20 times the amount You would pay for a set of Fosi Audio V3 Mono amps. I don't think, they are in the same boat, but one may be challenged by the comparison...

One can question what is said by others if we would know their interest in doing it. Most of those people quoted (and named) have an economic interest in selling things, even OP amps of different makes, because they make money on those selling it even when made by other manufacturers. We just...

Fosi Audio already provides a fan by now for those, who feel, that the V3 Mono is to warm to be handled without it. On Amazon you will find other options to do this for a lesser price (120mm 3 speed quiet USB fans with screens and silicone standoffs on both sides). They just fit between the...

@Halbknapp What are the estimated over all costs in Your terms (EUR) for one speaker including homemade cabinet ? PS.: I just wondered about the very low sensitivity of the speaker as mentioned: ~80db/2,84V. That "thing" then needs lots of amp power, doesn't it ?

We probably mean the same... I haven't found any reliable measurements on the internet except those from the manufacturer SMSL/Aoshida themselves, thus my "ignorance" and perseverance of seeing them done here... :)

THD+N, IM, SINAD at 50mV input etc.

It's not the subjective "sound" per se, which is nowadays rather seldom questioned, but the other factors as well...

The still open question is, if those ominous claims found on the internet about this DAC are - at least partially - validated by its measurements here :)

To my knowledge: No.

The situation is somewhat different, that - for me - good measurements are always needed, no matter if it's influencing (or not) my judgement about the item. Opinion and subjective "taste" is just one additional element to consider in this "equation" :)

It is always "challenging" to wade through opinions and subjectivism of either side as long as no measurements supporting one side are available :)

The problem seems to be, that no one (neither SMSL nor Aoshida nor any real users or buyers) have sent this "new" DAC unit for measurements to ASR, thus no review (and measurments) has/have happened (yet), only opinions and subjectivism dominate this thread.

Pricing of the RZ70 has - almost - returned to their prior levels (at least by those sellers I have seen) here in Germany. If there are other reasons, which caused this "massive" drop in sales prices in prior weeks, is to be seen: New upcoming hardware, lacking sales or whatever the reasons...

It depends, because the ZA3 has the same amp chip (TPA3255) as the V3 Stereo (and the V3 Mono), but the (passive) subwoofer out is somewhat different, if I remember correctly. The "new" V3 (2024 Version. sold out ?) has a volume controlled output for a 2nd amp, but it can't handle a passive...

Corrected...

I probably misinterpreted the former message of user "Freezak", because he pointed at the Wharfedale Diamond 12.2 and not on the Fosi Audio V3 Monos as I thought. Thus my comments were misleading... Sorry about that...

I read the whole review in Your link https://www.alpha-audio.net/review/review-wharfedale-diamond-12-2-bright-like-a-diamond-en/3/ (five pages) I wondered somewhat about Your reply, because the mentioned Wharfedale Diamond 12.2 speaker in that review had those distortion problems with all...

Isolating the problem device is somtimes hard. If it would be really the Fosi Audio V3 Mono amp, You probably still got warranty for those. New units might sometimes fail early no matter what the price or quality control has been. Thus early failures might happen everywhere with everything. If...

Looks already as if the shelf is slightly bending under the weight of the amps...

Suprise ? The Monos are probably triggered by some (unwanted) noise spike or hypersonic "event" on the power line, which appears waekened on the power supplies outgoing (to the amps) DC line. There is a controvery about the efficency of the trigger events for these, because, if they are as...
