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 AO200 MKII
- ⚠The USB port is for flash drive playback only, not for connecting to a PC/Phone (confusing for many users).
- ⚠Menu navigation knob can feel slightly wobbly compared to the rest of the chassis build.
- ⚠Bluetooth implementation does not support high-res codecs like LDAC.
