Things to Know

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.

Fosi Audio TB10D (Upgraded)

  • Volume control is logarithmic but very sensitive; gets loud at the 9 o'clock position.
  • Tone controls lack a center detent, making it hard to know when you are truly 'flat'.
  • DC input spark is common when plugging in the power supply (connect to amp first, then wall).
