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.
SMSL AL200
- ⚠Lack of a subwoofer output or pre-out is a major omission for a 'hub' device.
- ⚠The display font is small and can be hard to read from a distance.
- ⚠Some users report a slight 'pop' sound when switching inputs.
