I have been looking for some time for a small amp to replace the one I use on my computer desk, and I haven't found it yet. It has to be affordable, well less than $200 and not too large.
The chip of choice seems to be the reliable TPA3255, but it needs to have a very important capability: input selector. I don't care for treble, bass or balance control, as never used them and were never on any DIY design I built. Not even a line level input preamp I think is necessary, but you do need an input selector.
So I do not understand why it is not present on any Aiyima or Douk Audio product around.
Today I was looking at the Douk Audio H7 amp, and I found it an absolutely crazy design. The space on the back that could be used to put several RCA input sockets was used by two large XLR connectors, all controlled by selector up front that selected between XLR and RCA inputs! A switch that could be used for input selection, say 4 or 5 inputs.
On my computer desk I have a desktop and a laptop, and sometimes need to plug another unit, that could use such an integrated amp.
Am I wrong or there's not such a thing?
