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.

Loxjie A30

  • Low power output compared to Fosi/Aiyima; not suitable for insensitive speakers in large rooms.
  • Headphone output impedance is high, which can alter the frequency response of low-impedance headphones.
  • USB input is limited to 16-bit/44.1kHz (no high-res support via USB).
