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 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.
