Douk D1 Ampapa or RSL IA255.1? Looking for amp with HPF for an active sub and allow for dac

[kishanpatel995]

So looking to get a 2.1 amp as the fosi bt20a pro I have does not work well for the the sub out. Saw a few options out but seems like for under $200 the douk d1 and the rsl ia255.1 are good options with a proper HPF and work with a active sub. Also saw the SMSL A50 pro, douk a5, fosi bt20a max, etc. Are there any others that I may have missed that would be good options beyond those 2?

The Arylic A50+ and B50 cost <$200 and have both Sub out and extensive DSP with per-channel PEQ.

In contrast to WiiM though, you need a $20 Windows only application to configure the DSP: https://www.arylic.com/products/acp-work-bench-audio-effect-tool

Still, you'll get drastically higher sound quality potential than with a Fosi or Douk.

with the wiim or with the arylic?

With any 2.1 Amp that has DSP crossover and PEQ. This includes both the WiiM and Arylic.

What do you mean by that?
Aside from that, I recommend spending more for the WiiM Amp. Remote control, so nice! Can hide it away, so nice! And it freaking bloody just WORKS, wow I select it from my phone and it turns on and plays. Lovely! Plus more installed base and perhaps better resale eventually.
