Things to Know

  • ⚠Built-in battery is unnecessary for a desktop unit and will eventually degrade/fail.
  • ⚠Input is limited to a single 3.5mm jack (no RCA inputs without adapter).
  • ⚠Form factor is tall and narrow, making it easy to tip over when heavy cables are attached.

Reviews

“The loudness function, particularly rare in mini amplifiers, is present here. I love so much the effect it provides that I leave it on all the time... boosting bass and treble inversely proportional to the output level.”

— AudioScienceReview (Djano)

“The amp provides an impressive amount of separation for a unit of this price range. Bass enthusiasts will be satisfied with the amount of bass that can be elicited.”
