Decent device similar to the SMSL AD18 or the Topping MX3.

I m still looking for a device to power my second system and that would also serve me if my main amplifier (a denon PMA 1500) gets faulty.

Here are my requirements :

- Must be able to decode digital signal.
- Should have bluetooth, if possible 5.0 or 42
- Can power medium speakers with hifi quality.
- Has a headphone output with decent amplification section.

and most importantly : Should have low power consumption (so class D, or may be AB) ??

It could be in one box or two.

So i was interested in the Topping MX3 or the SMSL AD18 but both got destroyed by the reviews here.

I may go for SMSL A8 that goes for like 4 time the price of the two above mentionned.

Just wondering if anyone can get decent sound for 200 Euros, 400 ? or 600 ...

I would welcome suggestions at any of the price range above (ie 200, 400, 600 or even 800)

Thanks.

I use a SMSL AD18. If you plan to use it with small bookshelf speakers, it'll do the job. But get a Loxjie A30 if you can afford it.

It's weird that as a chinese company Loxjie did not sell their products in China. For chinese the budget speaker amp choice is very few. I dont want to buy Diy Class-D amp for its just a blackbox i can't predict. :eek:
Maybe i should try to buy a made in china amp(loxjie a30) from alipress in other country .:facepalm::facepalm::facepalm:
