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.

Fosi Audio V3 Mono

  • Chassis gets significantly warm due to the compact thermal design coupled with high power density.
  • Auto-standby feature produces a mechanical 'click' that some users find audible in quiet rooms.
  • Requires two separate power bricks (or a specialized splitter) for a stereo pair, adding cable clutter.
