  • The Fosi Audio TB10D packs an amazing 600w in to a unit the size of a sandwich. It lit up my Q Acoustic 3010 and the bottom end was really nice.

    Olá amigo! Esse Fosi tem baixa latência no bluetooth? Quero usar para tocar um piano virtual a partir do iPad. Você acredita que a conexão iPad - Fosi funcionaria com pouco delay? Muito obrigado

    By measurement, the 32 volt adaptor gives you ...
    50w/ch on 8 ohms
    90w/ch on 4 ohms
    Note that the supplied 5a brick will shut down at high volumes on 4 ohm loads.
    If you want an experience ... hook it up to a pair of Klipsh Heresys.

      Yes you will get more power at 48 volts ... about 100w on 8 ohms and 200w on 4 ...
      BUT, the amplifier's gain does not change with voltage. IF you have the volume set to 50db in your room and you swap in the 48 volt supply... guess what... still 50db.
      What you gain with the 48 volt supply is more headroom before clipping sets in. Don't expect some magical transformation.

      Heck ya on the hereseys. This amplifier will blow your windows out using vintage high efficiency 100db+ speakers. A few watts on high efficiency is nuts, and the amplifier barely works and is always in the lowest distortion capability of the amp.

    Apparently Fosi Audio are soon to release a new version of the FOSI AUDIO TB10d that will be compatible with a 48v power supply - unlike the one I recently bought and returned the BT30D Pro that wasnt and didnt take full advantage of the 3255 TI chip

      Interesting - I thought the TB10d with the 3255 chip could take a 48v supply? Maybe I missed something.

      @@MakeLifeClick I think you may be correct and I probably didnt state my post correctly, while it was compatible, it wasnt ( 48v power supply) wasnt included and had to be purchased separately. to take advantage of the chip and get the stated watts per channel, plus there were other problems hence edition 2, then there was the BT20 Pro and BT30 Pro which isnt compatible yet claims the same power output, going back and forth with the 48v compatibility. Now they are soon to release yet another new edition of the TB10D which i was told is compatible...Now you can be as confused as I am.

      The TPA3255 chip has always been 48 volt capable ... the safe max is actually 51 volts. The limiting factors in the various designs have been 36 volt capacitors and poor thermal solutions.
      The TB10D has always been able to do 48 volts. The caps are 50 volters and the heat sink is adequate for short periods of very high power. It is unlikely you would overheat it with decent music, but on some highly compressed stuff from the loudness wars you might get an occasional shutdown.

    I just purchased one of these and received it today.
    The tone controls have no detent for flat. Is flat EQ in the middle of the pot's travel? Are these cut and boost?
    This is not addressed in the included manual and the Fosi website can't be reached.

      I’m pretty confident mine has a ‘click’ feel for flat. I might be confused with my Fosi headphone amp. I’ll check.

    I've had the Improved version of the Fosi TB10D for a couple of months now and I am also impressed. I use it to power a pair of the Andrew Jones designed Pioneer tower speakers and content coming from my TV through an optical to RCA converter. I've also had output from my PC through a Dragonfly Black ver 1.5. Both sound great but I tend towards the optical out source. Having the Treble and Bass Controls is an added plus.
    I've also used an iPhone 11 with adapter to RCA as a source for streaming with Amazon, Spotify, Pandora and Internet radio stations like KUSC out of LA at 128kb and been happy with the results.
    I do find that using an equalizer and bumping up the mids gave a much warmer and pleasant sound. It took awhile to adjust the tone controls to sound the best with multiple sources and types of sound/music.
    I've coupled it to a Topping Dx3 Pro + and it's a good match. I tried it with the S.M.S.L. C200, which I think was defective as it gave a gritty sound I couldn't listen to for more than a few minutes. That went back to Amazon the day after it arrived.
    I've tried it using different RCA cables I have, some going back to the '90s and made by Monster (one copper color model was unlistenable the other, blue and directional, better). The best results came from a modest set of RCA cables I bought from Amazon that made the list of 'Best RCA Cables' when I did a search but I think any pair around $10 will be more than good enough.

      I agree that you need to spend some time with the tuning of this to really find the sweet spot. It’s now powering floor-standing energy speakers and sounds great.

    Oh my god! It sounds awful! You saved me $100. BTW, you're not getting 300 watts out of that with the included adapter (or any other adapter). 50 at best at 4ohms. Half that at 8.
