The adventure is spending another $95 in case and parts after the ICEpower moduleBut where's the adventure in that?
I dunno -- I think that the geeks are Legion. I also think they spend a lotta money on their geeky armamentariums (armamentaria?).Exactly. Basically admitting that the only people that will buy it are a small number of geeks. If the manufacturers only have aspirations to be a tiny niche player selling maybe a few hundred units, well fine. But if they actually want to do better than a hobby business run out of a basement, a bit more attention to detail would make a big difference.
Or a pair of diagonal wire cutters (ahem, in my day they were called dikes or maybe that's dykes -- and they didn't have to wear sensible shoes or anything!) and some solder.Don't really mind the jack, can always find an adapter or alternatives for that. I want to know if unregulated 32VDC PSU will work with the Volt+D.
Thanks Amir. Disappointing power with such a power supply.
We need to find something better to feed this baby.
Run it with off of one of these:

An actual filter capacitor bank, bigger heat sink, Bluetooth as a bonus. If just at glance you where to ask me which one is more expensive... I might have been fooled, and it's not a bit more, Its 6 times. Maybe you are right tough, but it's too much of a short cut to say, this 20$ amp performs bad, therefore all 20$ amps are bad. Maybe, maybe not.
Did you look at the reviews of that thing, or just at the price and photos? Here's the unmodified frequency response in green, notice how it starts to dive after 5kz. If you go and remove some caps, it looks like the red line. The Allo looks a lot more turnkey than the Yemiugo.

JDS Atom is essentially perfect, so I would think an equivalence can't really be made there.so is this the JDS Atom of speaker amps?
in the cheap, small but "way above weight" punching intention.an equivalence can't really be made there.
Maybe, someone else would have to answer that, but I don't think it should be held in same esteem as JDS Labs Atom (albeit different type of product of course).in the cheap, small but "way above weight" punching intention.
give us an update when you do!Looks pretty cool, I actually just received an Amazon budget class D amp for testing.
I might mail it in here and see how it compares.
There's a power supply coming with the Atom. Here, you have to find a complementary "JDS Lab Atom of the power supplies" first.so is this the JDS Atom of speaker amps?
Has the virtue of making safety simpler, which is nice for a DIY project.Yes, you need an external power supply and that is the only flaw I see with going with this solution.

Hardly. There's about a thousand proper integrated amplifiers you could buy on the secondhand market that would absolutely wipe the floor with this thing.
Can you name a few for those of us looking for such things?
