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.

Fosi Audio MC101

  • Uses the older, noisier TPA3116 chip (higher noise floor than V3/A07).
  • Bluetooth only supports SBC/AAC (no AptX/LDAC).
  • Speaker terminals are very close together; difficult to use with thick cables.
