AIYIMA A80 Power Amplifier DAC with PFFB TPA3255D2 Stereo HiFi 2.0 Channel Class D Bluetooth Amp 300Wx2 ESS9038Q2M Decoder Mini desktop amp with PC-USB Coaxial Optical TRS RCA Input

I've been exploring various integrated amplifiers to enhance my audio setup, and the Aiyima A80 caught my attention with its impressive specifications and affordable price point.​ I’ve previously owned Aiyima products; the A07 Max and A07 Amplifiers, which are superb sounding, especially at their price point. Build and Design The A80 boasts a compact and sturdy build, measuring 155 x 123 x 41mm and weighing approximately 850g. Its front panel features a vibrant color display with customizable VU meters, adding a touch of retro charm to its modern design. The volume knob feels solid and responsive, doubling as a menu navigation tool. While the display is clear, it might be a bit small for larger rooms. Connectivity and Features One of the standout aspects of the A80 is its versatile connectivity options. It includes USB-C, optical, coaxial, RCA, along with Bluetooth 5.1 support featuring AAC, SBC, aptX, aptX-LL, and aptX-HD codecs. The inclusion of a 12V trigger input allows seamless integration with other components, and the AUX output can connect to an active subwoofer or a second amplifier. ​ Performance and Sound Quality Equipped with the TPA3255D2 amplifier chip and ESS9038Q2M DAC, the A80 delivers clean and powerful sound. It supports high-resolution audio up to PCM 32bit/384kHz and DSD256. The PFFB (Post Filter Feedback) circuitry enhances performance by reducing distortion and improving frequency response. In my listening tests, I would say it is equal to, if not better than than the A07 Max. The A80 provided tight and controlled bass, smooth midrange, and crisp treble. It handled various genres with ease. I have a 2.1 system (see attached picture), which isn’t easy to drive with full range open baffle mids and highs, and a sealed bass box, but it handled all these drivers with ease. The soundstage was immersive, with precise imaging that brought vocals and instruments to life. ​Bass was tight and controlled. Additional Observations The A80 includes tone controls for bass and treble adjustments, allowing for personalized sound tuning. It also features replaceable op-amp chips, providing opportunities for further customization. I would always recommend op-rolling for tweaking the sound - I’ve tried OPA1612 and MUSES and they all add to the enjoyment. You can find op-amps on Aliexpress for a few pounds from reputable dealers, so it is always worth a look. While the unit can get warm during extended use, it's not excessively hot. The absence of an HDMI input is a minor drawback, but something I personally need. My list of wants for future Aiyima products is Spotify Connect and Wifi, for mobile operation. A high and loss pass filter would also be game-changing. Conclusion The Aiyima A80 stands out as a versatile and high-performing integrated amplifier that offers exceptional value for its price. Its combination of robust build quality, extensive connectivity, and impressive sound performance makes it a compelling choice for both audiophiles and casual listeners looking to elevate their audio experience. I have yet to find an Aiyima product at its price point that isn't a suitable value, and the A80 is currently the pick of the crop for an integrated amp with a superb DAC and one of the latest Bluetooth chipsets. Highly recommended.

Looks good on paper, really great specs. That's only half the story. This tiny little box is probably a superhero of the mini amplifier world! This thing rocks but strangely it took a while to get my ear in, right out of the box I wasn't expecting miracles. The amp took about 5 hours to break in and really sing, it first it was a little cold sounding almost thin and cold. But it is worth being patient and giving it a chance to shine. And shine it does. The Bluetooth connection sounds good 👍 but when connected to the PC with the supplied usb lead it really works well. The onboard dac is transparent and lets your music breath and the class d amplifier just sings. I've tried it out with book shelf speakers and large but old Sony floorstanders and it just gets on with it, is capable of skull cracking volume with the 48v 5amp. The remote is a bonus and the onboard display is great, makes tone control adjustments easy along with input selection.

This is a great wee amplifier however the documentation could be much better. Had to contact support as the trigger wasn't working and actually locked up my Denon amplifier requiring a factory reset. Up on further testing I found that the trigger in is a STEREO plug despite the standard being a 3.5mm mono plug. Denon specifically state in the manual not to use a STEREO plug but MONO. Plugging in a MONO plug will short circuit the 12v trigger out of Denon when the other end is connected to the Aiyima trigger in. I ended up cutting one of the MONO plugs off and fitted a STEREO plug for the Aiyima trigger in side. The ground was wired to ground on the STEREO plug and the tip wires to the tip of the STEREO plug. The middle ring was left unconnected. Before reconnecting it to my Demon I applied 12v to the MONO plug and the Aiyima A80 did switch on. Sound quality is great for an amplifier this size although the Bluetooth input levels aren't as strong as the rca inputs. Would recommend the amplifier but please take care if you need to use the trigger function.

Très bon ampli , les basses ,aigus et médium tout est bien en place , les voix sont très bien retranscrite . Couplé à des dynaudio émit II 10 qui demandent beaucoup de courant cette ampli Aiyima A80 s’en sort très bien et les alimentent sans problème . Je possède aussi l’Aiyima D03 qui est aussi très bon , l’A80 chauffe beaucoup comparé au D03 surtout lorsque l’on laisse allumer l’écran avec l’equaliser ou les 2 autres au choix disponible C’est vraiment la seule chose que j’ai à reprocher à çette ampli . tester avec d’autres enceinte de 4 olhms contre 6 pour les dynaudio l’ampli chauffe tout autant . Donc a voire dans le temps mais sinon je conseille vraiment çette ampli qui a un son excellent et qui vaut bien des amplis de class AB bien plus coûteux .

I recently decided to simplify my audio setup, and the Aiyima A80 integrated amp has been a game-changer. Instead of juggling multiple components, this compact all-in-one unit does it all—combining a high-quality TPA3255 amplifier and ES9038Q2M DAC into one very capable device. Setting it up was a breeze, thanks to its wide range of inputs and outputs. A nice feature is the included 48V 5A GaN power supply, which pairs well with the amp. I was initially concerned about possible heat buildup, but so far, it's been running cool and stable. Connecting my streamer via the optical cable that came with the A80 has resulted in clean, distortion-free sound—just what I was hoping for. To my ears, the A80 delivers tight and controlled lows, clear and natural mids, and crisp highs that never feel harsh. Whether I'm listening to jazz, rock, or classical, it creates an engaging and fatigue-free listening experience. The rated 120W per channel output drives my JBL 100 speakers without effort, and the built-in tone controls let me fine-tune the treble and bass to my individual tastes. I also like that the 3.5mm Aux output gives me the option to connect an active subwoofer, although I have not yet added that to my system. One of the great features is the display—it’s a really fun touch! The VU meter and spectrum analyzer mode add some flair (I’m partial to the spectrum analyzer), making it not just an audio device but a visual centerpiece of my setup as well. The remote that came in the box allows me to easily switch VU modes from the comfort of my listening position. All in all, Aiyima has delivered a fantastic, affordable Class D amp that does a good job balancing functionality, performance, and aesthetics. The solid build quality with well-placed ventilation holes, quality chipsets and PFFB circuitry tells me this amp/dac is designed to last. I am very happy with my decision to make the switch!

Dopo 10 giorni di utilizzo posso confermare che è un ottimo acquisto! Collegato a due casse passive JBL Control 25t da 30w l'una. Audio pulito, regolazione personalizzabile e tanto volume. Personalmente l'ho impostato a +5 di Bassi e lo trovo perfetto. Esteticamente nulla da dire, pulito ed essenziale. Amo la possibilità di poter cambiare la grafica dello schermo, dalla più classica alla più moderna. Unica pecca, se così la si può chiamare, è il fatto che dopo ore di utilizzo inizia a scaldare un pochino, ma ciò dipende molto dalle ore di utilizzo e dal volume impostato. In futuro collegherò un subwoofer attivo, visto che l'amplificatore lo permette grazie alle sue infinite porte sul retro. Dimensioni compatte e design minimal, tasto del volume reattivo e fa percepire una buona qualità costruttiva. Il telecomando è un plus anche se con il tasto del volume si può navigare in tutto il menù. Sulla propria postazione da un valore aggiunto e non risulta per nulla un ingombrante, cattura subito l'attenzione dando un tocco di Design alla postazione.

I have been a happy user of Aiyima A07Pro (it's going to my teen's bedroom), so I am not new to the D-Class amps party and knew what to expect. I am pleasantly surprised though - the A80 elevates the experience to another level. Sound quality Aiyima, from the times of the first A07, has always impressed with sound quality. Independent measurements of channel separation, distortion and noise level show excellent values, but the load dependency always lurked in the shadows. Fear no more - the post filter feedback loop tackles those as well. In the end you get a pocket amplifier with reference quality. Amplifier has enough precision to drive speakers at a lower volume, but there also is enough punch in this little guy to shake even my relatively big room. Features and quality Not only is the sound excellent, but the overall feel of the amp is great. Build quality is stellar - very nice weight to the unit, good haptics when turning the wheel. The display is big and clear as well, and it can get very bright too. The multitude of inputs is very impressive. You have regular RCA, as well as TRS for symmetrical analogue connection. There is coaxial and optical SPDIF. There is a subwoofer out. There is a good implementation of Bluetooth and my personal best - USB-C. Super Easy to Use with my phone! The most awesome thing is how easy it was to connect from my phone. Less and less phones have analogue audio output and it starts to become a nuisance. Not here - Bluetooth works well and thankfully is not visible unless you select BT as input (the nasty neighbor will not connect to your amp uninvited). I am however super happy how the USB connection worked. I used an ordinary USB-C <-> USB-C cable to connect - and without any fuzz, configuration or going through options - fantastic sound from the speakers. No BT losses, no noises from the cables. The digital sound goodness in all its glory. What not to like? There are a few very minor issues though. Two actually. The menu navigation is a bit awkward: there is no dedicated BACK button, and you have to double-push the volume dial to go back. You don't use it frequently, but when you actually have to, it is weird. Second issue I have is that the display won't turn off completely. You can turn the brightness down from 100% to 10% in 10 steps - so it is not annoying at all. An "auto-off" mode would be nice here though. Summary Overall, the Aiyima A80 is a great little amp that really delivers. It sounds fantastic, looks and feels solid, and has all the connections you could want. It's easy to use, especially with a phone, and packs enough power for serious listening. Sure, the menu could be easier to use and it’d be nice if the display could turn off completely, but those are small complaints. If you want a powerful, great-sounding amp without spending a fortune, the A80 is a smart buy.

Warto. DAC 32bit, auto off po 5 minutach, wzbudza się bardzo szybko na DAC. Do tego bardzo estetyczny, bez zbędnych guzików, gra rewelacyjnie.
