Things to Know

Douk Audio T3 PLUS

  • The 6A2 tubes are less common than the 5654W/6J1 family, making tube rolling slightly more difficult.
  • No volume control; it is a fixed-gain phono stage.
  • Included power supply is a basic switching wall wart that can introduce noise.

Fosi Audio SK01

  • Built-in battery is unnecessary for a desktop unit and will eventually degrade/fail.
  • Input is limited to a single 3.5mm jack (no RCA inputs without adapter).
  • Form factor is tall and narrow, making it easy to tip over when heavy cables are attached.
