Things to Know

Aiyima A07 Max

  • Vents are located on the bottom/sides, which is better than the original but still relies on passive convection.
  • Some users report 'sparking' at the DC input jack when connecting power (connect brick to wall last).
  • Aux output is not a true variable pre-out.

BRZHIFI Hood 1969

  • No remote control or tone controls; purely utilitarian.
  • High continuous power draw (approx 60-80W) regardless of volume due to Class A topology.
  • Input sensitivity is low; requires a source with a strong output voltage (2V+) to reach full volume.
