Things to Know
Loxjie A30

- ⚠USB input is limited to 16-bit/44.1kHz (no high-res support via USB).
Willsenton R8
- ⚠Bias drift is common; owners need to check and adjust bias frequently during the first few months.
- ⚠Stock preamp tubes (6SN7/6SL7) are often noisy or microphonic; immediate replacement is recommended.
