Things to Know

Aiyima T9 Pro

  • VU meter sensitivity is not adjustable; barely moves at low volumes.
  • The tube stage adds measurable distortion (2nd harmonic), which is intentional for 'flavor' but not high-fidelity.
  • Runs quite warm due to the tubes and internal DAC.

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.
