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.

Topping PA7 Plus

  • ⚠External power brick is massive and can be difficult to hide.
  • ⚠Runs warmer than typical Class D amps due to high power density.
  • ⚠No remote control (intended to be used with a preamp like the E70).
