In Reply to: "giant killing" class D amps? posted by thump on December 29, 2017 at 15:46:26:
apparently, they use the same chips as the highly respected $500 TBI millenia! i was interested in them for a bit, except 32wpc is NOT enough power to live with long term, especially if your an acoustic suspension mini-monitor lover like me, but $50-$60 for a "poor man's TBI" after getting a regulated power supply?
THAT falls into MY definition of "giant killing" (aka bang for the buck)
the TBI had a COUPLE favorable reviews, including one at 6 moons, if i remember right. it was NOT a slouch, as long as you can live with 32wpc.
a $30 "knock off" will be GOOD ENOUGH FOR ME while i build the rest of my system starting with a temporary DAC & maybe little dot MkII (if needed) before getting really serious with my system.
i imagine the TBI has a little better attention to detail, as it should for $500... but being able to get the same chip... MOST OF THE SOUND, for less than 10% is hurling rocks at ogre eyes in my book.
CRAP! i made a pic showing the half dozen rebranded 3116s i could find, but apparently didn't save it on my thumb drive. the same amp (apparently) is available with various case colors as:
breeze audio
fosi
K. GuSS
nobsound
weiliang
&
yeeco
$30 TBI millenias? WOW!
