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 ZA3

  • Frequency response is load-dependent (high frequencies may rise with 8Ω loads due to lack of PFFB).
  • The subwoofer output is full-range pass-through on the main terminals; it does not filter bass from the main speakers.
  • Volume control is defeated in Mono mode, requiring a preamp.
