It is sorry.. your right.I thought that the Venus 15th was a DAC, not an amp.![]()

3e Audio A5.Fosi Audio V3 Mono или AIYIMA A80 ? I can't decide, please help me !!
small precaution to check, take, maybe with a fairly low input impedance (10khz)...even if it will work well in 96% of cases...no?3e Audio A5.
You're welcome.
I don't have the A80, but 3e Audio beats the V3 Mono for my taste.
You surely meant to say 10 kΩ.maybe with a fairly low input impedance (10khz)
A few questions. Which power supply is used? is it getting very hot ?Is there an automatic shutdown/power-on feature?My Marantz PM6007 integrated (which I love) is out for repair so I didn’t want to be void of music and bought the Douk Audio A5 as a temp for $89 (+tax obviously). I’m using it as a power amp fully cranked with the Ultra as the preamp with A Schiit Modi Multibit DAC between, through KEF Q350’s currently listening to Steven Wilson’s latest album and I’m floored. WTH this cannot be possible, I’m sure once I get my Marantz back I’ll think it’s better sounding (please let me think it’s better, haha). Sorry just losing it how good this sounds. I’m in disbelief. Anyone else tried the Douk A5 with the WiiM? Sorry if I’ve missed any earlier posts about similar setup.
Hi Temruk! I’m using the supplied 32v power supply but you can use 24 up to 48. Barely lukewarm after 2 hours of solid use at playing around 75db. No automatic shutdown/power on so that would be the only negative I guess oh and pretty small speaker terminals but I’m using banana plugs so no problem for me, but a positive note is there’s a high pass filter if you decide to plug in a sub to the aux out on the back (I’ve got mine plugged into the WiiM). Might play with the opamps in the futureA few questions. Which power supply is used? is it getting very hot ?Is there an automatic shutdown/power-on feature?
That lowly analogue high pass only filter won't impress any owner of a WiiM Ultra though.... but a positive note is there’s a high pass filter if you decide to plug in a sub to the aux out on the back (I’ve got mine plugged into the WiiM).
I would be happy to purchase such a device.volume bypass, proper on/off switch and/or auto on/off.
The 3e Audio A5 and A7 (and A7 Mono) come very close to that. They don't have a trigger input, which is a turn-off for some, and only rely on auto on/off.I would be happy to purchase such a device.
Looks a little costly for what it does at a first glance. Pure amplifier mode sounds interesting. Those Infinion chips are far less common than TI TPA32xx Chips and S.M.S.L. is a bit tight-lipped what they are actually using. No independent measurements yet. I would sit and wait.What do you think about this device ? https://www.smsl-audio.com/portal/product/detail/id/905.html
If you can wait a little longer, 3e Audio still have something else planned for 2025. It should solve a few of the (minor) shortcomings of the A5 and A7.I would be happy to purchase such a device.
Unfortunately, judging by the reviews, these devices have a problem with "turning on on cue". And also the price is a little too high compared to competitors.The 3e Audio A5 and A7 (and A7 Mono) come very close to that.

Not at all. If anything it's rather the contrary. With high sensitivity speakers and/or desktop use they might go into auto-off too soon for real low level listening. They come alive almost immediately.Unfortunately, judging by the reviews, these devices have a problem with "turning on on cue". And also the price is a little too high compared to competitors.
