Aiyima should make a larger version of T9 with 2 of those as mono-blocks to double the clean power, a dedicated subwoofer out, high pass filter on mains when sub is used and maybe more analog inputs.

I do use two Ayima A07s maxed out with a separate volume control and found I get even better power and performance. Not really bi-amped, just using one A07 for each speaker. Seems to free up more juice for each channel. Not double power, but very noticible improvement

I have the Aiyima DAC - A2 which has been my desk dac for the last three years or so, fed by an Xduoo X10T ii via coax. Sounds really good, has bass and treble which I need as I'm using bass light headphones and I'm over fifty. I like it so much I bought three, and pre covid it was less than £40. I think it's sells for about £60 now. It also comes as the Nobsound Q3 and Fosi Q4, but the Aiyima is the cheaper variant. I run it into a XuanZu X2-U808 for some tube sparkle (although the headphone out on the front of the unit is perfectly adequate.), and I don't miss a remote as the whole setup sits mere inches away on my desk. I think the main reason for the quality sound is good implementation of the NE5532 opamps.

I’ve been using the A07 for a couple of years in a TV setup with JBL Studio 530’s. While the A07 is capable of generating 300W, it requires a more powerful transformer (purchased separately) to do so. The stock transformer it comes with only generates about 50wpc.

Wish you had this review before I purchased my T9. But honestly I would have gotten the amp either way. Ive got a T9 powering a pair of Micca RB42 at my desk and I really love the setup. The staging and imaging of my simple system is so immersive. Low noise, slightly tube-colored. I do have slight concern with the port chuffing at higher levels and looking for a solution - maybe a HPF and sub; Or maybe a notch filter. Haven’t tried anything scientific to resolve that yet

Don't get the T9. Get the T9 Pro. The T9 cuts off after 4 seconds of silence, then takes about a second after getting input to click back on. I contacted Aiyima about this and they told me to destroy it, take a pic of the destroyed item and they would refund me. The T9 Pro gets rid of this issue

@jemsmay2167 6 ай бұрын

The T9 got rid of that issue as well in later releases. I have had a T9 (upgraded tubes) for the past year and a half, no cutting off, no clicking back on. It is used with an optical connection to a WiiM mini and is powering Sony sscs5’s. The sound is amazing for less than $300 all in. Can even put HiRes thru it, but to be honest I dont hear a meaningful difference between hiRes and CD quality source. Still looking for a good 8 inch sub to complete the system, might add an AO7 max and use the T9 as a pre amp/dac.

Both of these can be boosted to almost the full amount of power they advertise with a 48v unit as you mentioned....but honestly, you don't need it if you're using this in it's intended purpose of using it on a desktop system. I paired it with a set of Jamo S803's and a Jamo powered sub, heaven on earth for my computer setup for around $300....unreal. Unfortunately I own the T9 as well, it's regulated to backup duty due to it's stupid annoying clicking---you can't get rid of it and it's on every output but RCA that I've seen. No, just no.
