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).

Topping PA7 Plus

  • ⚠External power brick is massive and can be difficult to hide.
  • ⚠Runs warmer than typical Class D amps due to high power density.
  • ⚠No remote control (intended to be used with a preamp like the E70).
