Things to Know

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).

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.
