    Aiyima should make a larger version of T9 with 2 of those as mono-blocks to double the clean power, a dedicated subwoofer out, high pass filter on mains when sub is used and maybe more analog inputs.

      I do use two Ayima A07s maxed out with a separate volume control and found I get even better power and performance. Not really bi-amped, just using one A07 for each speaker. Seems to free up more juice for each channel. Not double power, but very noticible improvement

    I have the Aiyima DAC - A2 which has been my desk dac for the last three years or so, fed by an Xduoo X10T ii via coax. Sounds really good, has bass and treble which I need as I'm using bass light headphones and I'm over fifty.
    I like it so much I bought three, and pre covid it was less than £40. I think it's sells for about £60 now.
    It also comes as the Nobsound Q3 and Fosi Q4, but the Aiyima is the cheaper variant.
    I run it into a XuanZu X2-U808 for some tube sparkle (although the headphone out on the front of the unit is perfectly adequate.), and I don't miss a remote as the whole setup sits mere inches away on my desk.
    I think the main reason for the quality sound is good implementation of the NE5532 opamps.

    Wish you had this review before I purchased my T9. But honestly I would have gotten the amp either way. Ive got a T9 powering a pair of Micca RB42 at my desk and I really love the setup. The staging and imaging of my simple system is so immersive. Low noise, slightly tube-colored. I do have slight concern with the port chuffing at higher levels and looking for a solution - maybe a HPF and sub; Or maybe a notch filter. Haven’t tried anything scientific to resolve that yet

      The T9 got rid of that issue as well in later releases. I have had a T9 (upgraded tubes) for the past year and a half, no cutting off, no clicking back on. It is used with an optical connection to a WiiM mini and is powering Sony sscs5’s. The sound is amazing for less than $300 all in. Can even put HiRes thru it, but to be honest I dont hear a meaningful difference between hiRes and CD quality source. Still looking for a good 8 inch sub to complete the system, might add an AO7 max and use the T9 as a pre amp/dac.
