I have decided to buy JBL stage a130 speakers and now I want to know, should I choose Fosi Audio v3 or Aiyima A07 MAX?
Is there any difference in sound quality between v3 and A07 MAX? Who is better?
Please help me, thanks.
 
I'll sell you a new pair of Fosi Audi V3 mono block with the two 48v power power supplies for $150. Maybe we split shipping costs. Are you in my hemisphere. I accidently ordered and bought two sets.

I'm in China, I guess there's a big chance that I'm not in the same country as you, and international shipping is expensive, so I'll have to pass on this offer from you, thanks for your input.
 
Performance wise during use, the Fosi V3 (Stereo) and Aiyima A07 Max are almost the same. I'd not expect them to sound any different.

Noise and distortions are the same. The Fosi has 2 dB more gain at max volume. The Aiyima has some channel imbalance.

Same frequency response.

Same output power.

The only significant difference is on/off pop (the Fosi is better). However, no idea how representative these results are as we don't know how much sample-to-sample variations there are.

Detailed answers are much appreciated!
I'm disappointed that aiyima has some channel imbalance, no doubt I'll go with fosi.

Of course we have no idea of model to model consistency, so I’m sure another sample might be subtly different.
 
Thanks for the input, but I had already ordered the V3 before this.
FWIW I’ve been very happy with my Fosi purchases - v3 stereo, ZA3 (now sold on) and v3 monos. I was merely trying to caution about over reliance on one test sample. :)

Did you sell these?
 
I have the Aiyima 07 Max and the A70, no channel volume imbalance that I can hear.
 
Correction to my post above: I do detect imbalance in the volume tracking with the A70 between the middle pot range, 9:30 and 2, with the right channel slightly higher than the left by about 0.75-1 dB. Previously I was running the A70 wide open driven by my preamp. Using it directly connected to the CD player and using the onboard pot to control volume, the imbalance is noticeable.
