AIYIMA D03 Bluetooth 5.0 DAC Amplifier 150 Watt x 2 Stereo HiFi 2.1 CH Digital Sound Amplificador 24Bit/192kHz Class D Power Amp USB Coaxial Optical OLED AptX, Support Subwoofer & with Remote

I wanted to upgrade my audiovisual setup in my new house, and needed a small stereo amp, with just three specific features: an optical input, a subwoofer output, and a usable remote control for at least volume. After scouring the Amazon website, I settled on the Aiyima D03. While I have had mixed results when buying electronics from an unknown mainland China manufacturer, this product was the simplest one available with the right combination of features. I wanted the optical input, because my entire signal chain is digital: HDMI from the BluRay DVD/CD player, into the Samsung TV, out via the TV's optical port, through a Bluetooth transmitter (for using Apple AirPods), and then out to the amp. I also needed the subwoofer output to drive an existing powered speaker, and finally, the remote volume control was also mandatory. The product also supports Bluetooth, although I won't be using that. This product fit the bill perfectly, and I have been very pleasantly surprised by it. The D03 is truly tiny; the cord-bump power supply is actually bigger than the amp. While it has a volume knob and input selection controls, the remote provides that, along with bass and treble controls, input selection, and more. When I connected it to my Klipsch bookshelf speakers, I got excellent sound performance, and completely quiet operation, no noise or hum. The amp features a nice graphic display which unfortunately, and owing to the tiny size of the amp, cannot be read from more than a few feet away. No matter, in my application, I really don't need to see it, since I'll only be using the optical input. The product came with a Bluetooth antenna (which I won't be using) and an optical cable, but without the necessary AAA batteries (x2) needed for the remote. Despite the five star rating I'm giving this product, no product is absolutely perfect, and I do have a minor criticism or two. The binding posts for the speaker outputs are really tiny, and a challenge to use with my stubby fingers. They also won't work well with heavy gauge speaker wire, so it makes sense to use 18 ga. or smaller wire, and abandon the myth that speaker cable gauge has anything to do with sound quality, especially with nearby bookshelf speakers. The instruction guide is also rather minimal, albeit sufficient. Class D amp design, something which I did professionally until my retirement, is truly amazing, in terms of reducing the size and weight of amplifiers. While class D amps have their challenges, they have the advantage on not needing massive amounts of iron and copper for transformers, as well as big heatsinks. As for the power output, I never believe the power rating claims of manufacturers like these, because they never specify the conditions for such a test. However, suffice it to say that the amp is far more powerful than it needs to be, to drive the Klipsch bookshelf speakers. Of course, since I only just installed this amp 24 hours ago, reliability will be my chief concern, and I would reserve the right to edit my review, should things go pear-shaped. However, once past the infancy failure stage, audio electronics can run for a very long time; I once had a Technics receiver in my office which remained turned on continuously for well over 20 years, until it finally failed. We'll see if Aiyima holds up as well. UPDATE: I've had this product since last May, and bought a second one for my daughter in August. I'm knocking off one star, for a couple of small problems in both that might be annoying to users. First, the IR remote control has a particularly weak output... it requires pointing the remote directly at the amplifier, and unless there's a clear and direct view, it often fails to work. Second, the volume control, via the remote, is difficult to use; each 'step' results in a very small volume change, so it takes a lot of clicks to meaningfully raise or lower the volume. Aside from those two issues, I still consider it to be an excellent product.

Purchased this product in February to use at my work office. the office space is 10ft x 10ft. I have it connected to Totem Dream Catcher bookshelf speakers and have paired it with Polk Audio Blackstone TL1 and powered Jbl Sub. Both combinations sounded great. The Totem are 4ohm 86 db sensitive and the amp had no issues powering the speakers to levels up to 85db. During working hours the volume is between 2 and 5 on the display and produces a nice background of music without disrupting office co-workers. After hours and weekends I run between 10-15 on the display and fills the office with amazing sound. The display goes to 99, I have never listened past 50. I am using my pc with Amazon music with ultra hd music play list. CD quality (16bit 44.1khz) to HD (24bit 192khz) and music sounds great. I think this amp is perfect for rooms under 300sq ft. to produce high quality sound and normal volume (60db-80db). No issues with playback, I have used it with my PC and TV and both worked great. Highly Recommend this product for office, studios, bed rooms or any spaces under the 300sq ft. And best paired with Bookshelves and powered subs vs large floor standing speakers. Let the powered sub handle music under 80hz and this little amp will power the bookshelves with clarity and finess. Great value in this amp.

Aiyima D03: 30 day review I'm writing this review now because I wish someone had written it months ago. It contains some facts that weren't obvious to me and may not be obvious to you. It also contains some subjective impressions. They are my own. I've had no contact with the seller or any other party with a financial interest in your purchasing decision. I'll start with the bottom line so you can skip the rest if you'd like. The Aiyima D03 is an excellent amp but it's not a good fit for everyone. You're most likely to enjoy it if the following statements are true about you: * You're looking for a stereo (two channel) amplifier for a small to mid-sized room. * You are moderately picky about sound quality. * You listen mainly to digital audio sources. * You don't already have a favorite DAC that you expect to pair with your new amp. * You are prepared to be extremely patient as your new amp warms up. The Basics The Aiyima D03 is a Class D integrated amplifier. I'll explain those terms in case you're unfamiliar with them. "Class D" is a relatively new amplification strategy that relies on electronic switches to do most of the work and consequently can acheive much higher efficiency than the previously dominant "AB" class. This efficiency is why the Aiyima D03 is so much smaller than competing products like the (also excellent) Sony STRDH190 and Yamaha R-S202. The main difference between the classes lies in how much power they require and how much heat they generate. Class D amps don't necessarily sound better or worse than Class AB amps. As with many things in life, the outcome depends a great deal on the details. All amplifiers amplify sound. Integrated amplifiers also provide some kind of conversion or processing. The exact kind will vary from one model to another. In the case of the D03, you'll find a bluetooth receiver and a DAC that allows you to connect digital audio sources (coaxial, optical, USB) directly to the amp. Like simple ("power") amplifiers, the D03 also allows you to connect an analog (RCA) source. Power Here's where comparison shopping gets tricky. Manufacturers usually advertise an amplifier's power in terms of watts-per-channel. This might lead you to the obvious conclusion that a 100 WPC amp will produce twice the sound volume of a 50 WPC amp. Obvious, but not even close to correct. First, WPC will vary dramatically with the resistance (ohms) of your speakers. Some manufacturers (like Yamaha) assume 8 ohm speakers. Others (like Aiyima) assume 4 ohm speakers. This prevents a straightforward comparison. Second, the relationship between watts and decibels is not linear. Each watt you add produces only a third of the volume that the previous watt did. You can learn the gritty details by researching speaker sensitivity and amplifier power. Or you could take my word for it and accept that the D03 has more than enough power to drive most bookshelf speakers deep into hearing damage territory. Don't let the small size fool you. Alternatives to Consider The price gives you some idea about how Aiyima positioned the D03 relative to its competition. It's in line with the previously mentioned Sony SDRDH190 and Yamaha R-S202, both fine, basic, entry-level class AB integrated amplifiers. It's priced considerably higher than the Pyle PDA6BU which offers comparable features but also introduces much more harmonic distortion and noise. On the opposite boundary, you can find an array of high end integrated amplifiers from makers like Yamaha, Denon/Marantz, and Onkyo with prices that start a couple of hundred dollars more than the D03 but quickly reach well into the stratosphere. The law of diminishing returns applies. You get to decide how much you are willing to pay for that next nibble of improved fidelity. Aiyima isn't the only manufacturer of class D integrated amplifiers on Amazon. For example, Fosi Audio produces good stuff and has a few options, all priced below the D03. You can draw your own conclusions about why each seller chose to price their products as they did. If you listen only to analog sources or have your own DAC, the highly rated Aiyima A07 power (non-integrated) amplifier may be a better bet. As I'll describe under "subjective impressions," I see analog input as a weakness of the D03. Subjective Impressions At the end of all the technical terms and numbers, the only thing that really matters is how your stereo system sounds to your ears in your room. Some of the more detailed reviews include information about who is listening and what other equipment is involved. You might find this tedious to read but it ends up making a huge difference to your understanding of the product because you are different from me and I am different from the next reviewer. I classify myself as a "discerning listener" rather than an "audiophile." I developed my ear through many years of playing musical instruments and editing audio files. On the other hand, I lack the inclinaton or patience to squeeze every last drop of fidelity out of my stereo system. I've never upgraded an op-amp. My usual standard is "sounds pretty good to me." Here's how I like to think about the sound quality of a stereo system. You start with the quality of the original source. Then you subtract all of the distortion and noise from each component and each connection between them. In other words, an awful amplifier can make great speakers sound awful but the reverse isn't true. A great amplifier can't make awful speakers sound great. Your stereo system can sound no better than its worst component, and will almost certainly sound worse. I raise this point here because it's unfair to blame bad sound on your amplifier unless you have done the hard work of eliminating all of the other possible causes. Don't forget the connections and interactions between components. I set the D03 up in my home office. I attached it to a pair of Polk S15 "Signature Series" bookshelf speakers, plus an Acoustic Audio PSW-6 subwoofer under my desk. The equipment is just a notch above entry-level. It's "pretty good" but won't win any audiophile competitions. The subwoofer connected to the designated RCA port on the D03 and had its crossover dialed all the way down to 50 Hz. This is not the best way to establish a speaker/subwoofer relationship but it's simple and acheived the "pretty good" sound I was going for. It also tested the D03's subwoofer output. My primary audio source is Spotify via a Macbook. It's connected to the USB port on the D03 and configured to play at 96 kHz. I found a volume of 15-20 (out of 100) to be plenty loud for my ears. To test sound systems, I often use "Toota Lute" from Mannheim Steamroller's Fresh Aire II. It contains some back-and-forth between a guitar and a harpsichord. I can learn quite a bit from how distinct the strings sound and how well they resonate (or don't). To my astonishment, the noise coming out of the D03 setup was positively dreadful. The strings were wrapped in wax paper and stuffed down a drain pipe. Any resonance could be attributed to a plumbing accident. After fiddling with wires for a few minutes and accomplishing nothing, I remembered a D03 review which mentioned that it "came alive" after a few days. I thought the author meant that the sound went from "pretty good" to "great" so didn't pay much attention. Lacking better ideas, I kept the D03 powered on and walked away. Two hours later, I thought it sounded marginally better but couldn't tell for sure. Maybe I was fooling myself. The next day, the improvement was remarkable but I still wasn't impressed with the sound. It took an entire week of gradual progress before I started to feel good about what I was hearing. I threw challenging pieces at it from every genre I knew and had to strain my ears to detect faults. Without reservation, I can call this D03 system "pretty good." I intended to keep using the USB port but also experimented with the others, mainly so I could mention them in this review. The optical port sounded excellent. At the same smaple rate, I couldn't detect any difference from the USB. Bluetooth sounded like bluetooth. It wouldn't be my first choice or even my third, but it worked. I found the analog (RCA) inputs to be the only disappointment. Switching from a digital source to an analog one resulted in a volume significant enough to be annoying. Even at equivalent volumes, the sound was flat and lifeless to my ears. Wrap-up This review starts with my bottom line so I won't belabor the point here. I like the D03 quite a bit and intend to keep it for years. If you remember only one thing from this review, I hope it's this: before you pass judgment on this amplifier, let it warm up for several days. I realize how crazy this statement is in our post-vacuum tube world, but solid state components have temperatures too. [Update 9 Nov 23: Ejected After 16 Months] After sixteen months of near-daily use, the D03 no longer graces my office. It didn't break and it surprised me only once, but that discovery was a doozy. In my initial evaluation, I noted a significant volume difference between analog and digital sources. I played only digital sources and forgot about this quirk -- until I got annoyed with the uneven discrete volume control and attempted to hack around it by attaching an external DAC. This hack required the analog inputs and led to truly atrocious noises pouring out of my "pretty good" speakers. After a bit more experimentation, here's what I learned: 1. Volume control is uneven. I landed in a state where 10 was too loud, 1 was about the same, and 0 worked as advertised. Discrete volume control is a challenging feature to implement. A simpler, continuous design would have served the budget D03 better. 2. Sound quality from analog sources is worse than you'd expect from a simple low-budget power amp. Amazon carries dozens of them. 3. The integrated DAC (TI TAS5548) performs admirably. I expect you would have trouble finding a superior DAC for less money than you would spend on the entire D03. Bottom line: Think of the Aiyima D03 as a "good-enough" DAC with a built-in amplifier. It's a portable headphone amp for your speakers. Don't try to use it like a power amp and you'll get along fine. In case you're curious, I replaced the integrated D03 with separates. A HiFime S2 DAC feeds an Aiyima A07. The S2 is a better DAC and the A07 is a better amp, so the same old speakers produce a richer and fuller sound. Because the S2 was designed for headphones, its analog output is louder than power amps generally expect. I mitigated this tension by sticking an adjustable attenuator between the two components. Switching to separates opens all kinds of possibilities if you're willing to get some wiring dirt under your fingernails. If you're like most people and just want to play digital audio through your speakers, the D05 remains a "pretty good" option. For this reason, I'll let my original four-star rating stand. Still here? Let's talk about the Aiyima D05 for a moment. It's easy to think "5 is bigger than 3, so the D05 must be newer or better." Easy and reasonable but completely wrong. On paper at least, the D03 is the better amp because it contains better/newer TI chips. I didn't bother with a real-life side-by-side sound comparison. It would be fun to see one.

I almost bought the A07 for my vinyl setup, but given all the many inputs and versatility that the D03 offers, the choice was clear. First of all, the sound quality is really good, there's also no power on pop sound, and the low level noise is almost zero. Build quality is nice, and the buttons have a good touch to them. This ended up being a great soundbar replacement, using the optical in for TV, aux input for the vinyl player and an occasional phone Bluetooth play. The sub output also made it a good deal since I used it to immediately upgrade my system. When it comes to power, I have never used more than half to stand just behind the line of being "that neighbour". In apartment and condo settings this will be plenty. The bass and treble settings are quite effective, the maximum and minimum limits have a big impact on the sound, and are helpful for removing the bass from spoken youtube videos or streams, for example. There are some cons: Every time the optical source changes the sample rate there's a dip in the sound, and it mutes for like half a second, this can be annoying sometimes when watching a movie (like one or two times in one movie), normal soundbars can do this flawlessly. The remote feels scarily cheap, especially because there's no replacement, it's not for sale. Anywhere. The screen is illegible from a normal tv watching distance, you do most of the settings by guessing. Apart from that, this is a really good deal.

Hasta ahora..ha funcionado de maravilla el mini amplificador Es pequeño de tamaño..pero suena de verdad muy muy bien Y si le pones un subwoofer activo...el sonido es espectacular 👌

I'm using this amp to power bookshelf speakers on my patio. I stream either from my main stereo using a bluetooth tramsmitter, or from my phone or tablet. I use the AptX HD codec, which sounds pretty good. AptX Low Latency is also available. The amp does not support LDAC, but _may_ support AAC for iPhone users. (cannot test this) The advertised 130 watts is not usable power, unless you like high distortion! The same measuring methodology is used by all similar amps though, so it is not deceptive or inaccurate. I would guess it provides 30 to 40 watts of clean power into the 8 ohm speakers I have. This is PLENTY for normal listening with reasonably efficient speakers. Remember that doubling the power only provides a small (3db) volume increase, so moderate volumes do not need high power. The construction is not fancy, but is solid. The speaker banana jacks work well, and the inputs look good, though not using any. The sub-woofer output is nice to have, though also not using that. The external power brick it's pretty hefty. If pushing the amp hard, it might be worthwhile replacing this with something bigger & better, but I don't have any power issues. The remote is compact and includes bass & treble controls, which is handy. I cannot comment on its audiophile sound quality. I did not hook this up to my main system, so have only heard it with budget speakers on my balconey! However, I think this amp could work well in a starter or secondary sound system. The internal DAC seems decent for Bluetooth streaming. I don't know how the analog inputs sound, if planning to use an external DAC or phono-amp. There are sound reviews out there if want that level of info. Overall this tiny amp is exactly what I needed and expected, so I'm very pleased with it. Hopefully it will work well for many years.

Cabe en tu mano...y no esperas mucho de él Error Es un mega ampli que te va a hacer bailar Genial!

No me funciono la salida del Subwofer, ni la entrada del audio optico, ya solicite la devolucion y estoy en espera de que vengan por el articulo.
