Suggestions needed - Compact power amplifier?

[BergeHiFi]

Hello all people of this forum.

I need suggestions for compact power amplifiers.

It needs to have:

• Balanced input via XLR
• Less than 20cm depth (that is 8 inches in freedom eagle)
• Not too tall, but width is not any issue.
• 2 og 1 channel, so both stereo and monoblocks are good
• As good sound quality as possible.
• Internal PSU (Edited in after first answer)

Do you have any suggestions?

Thank you for the suggestion.

I have added another requirement - Internal power supply.
I would also like it to be a bit better than Fosi.

How much power do you need, and what's your budget?

I see. Many of audiophonics class D amps are 22cm depth. A little bigger than your needs.

That is probably "better" of the inaudible kind, but maybe the TPA3255 sibling with PFFB from Aiyima is interesting, it's not yet fully there though. and it is a bit on the tall side, you did not specify what is your limit.

EDIT: Aahh - power not included ;-(

That 20cm depth is going to be a problem.

Benchmark AHB2 is 23,72 cm.

Audiophonics do a range of amps in a compact case; long and thin (141 x 357 x 65 mm) ... turn them sideways?

Unsure about depth;

I found this in Ali.

ABH2 is on the list, 20cm is hard I know, so might change the limit to 25cm.
Thank you for the suggestion.

 

[BergeHiFi]

Thank you all for the suggestions! My list is growing.

Any suggestions for DIY cabinets that might fit a Purifi amplifier inside?

You should be able to find a suitable case at https://modushop.biz/site/ - a subset of which are available from https://diyaudiostore.com which may be cheaper depending on where you are.
