Looking to buy either Fosi BT20A Pro or Aiyima A07 pro... Where can I buy from

[JMak]

After experimenting with a couple of class d amplifier boards, I am now planning to jump to the next level in my audio journey...

Was meaning to buy Aiyima or Fosi, bluetooth amps
Fosi BT20A pro or Aiyima A07 pro.
Fosi went oos just as I was making payment today and seems Aiyima was never available on Amazon.

Any other place apart from conceptkart from where I can buy...

Thanks

Can also consider https://www.amazon.in/gp/aw/d/B0B93RRWVD/ Aiyima A08 pro. Compared to A07 Pro, this has ldac and the vu meter. There was a 2k coupon on this a few days back, effectively bringing the price down to 12k.

Off topic, but do you have already have passive speakers, or are you planning to buy a set?

Looks like the A07 is in stock on Amazon India and Hifimart but the A07 Pro is OOS everywhere. The alternatives are the Aiyima A08 Pro or the T9.

@JMak : Just saw your post that you ordered two amps boards instead?

Right so I wanted to just experiment with something more powerful and robust (than my existing class D amps) with my existing speakers hence was in two minds about aiyima T9(https://amzn.eu/d/5yYaQVz) and Fosi Audio BT20A PRO (https://amzn.eu/d/e0ydDYv), ultimately went for the fosi considering it to be more powerful and has more advanced ic in 3255... Bluetooth and aux (read RCA for fosi) are only the two inputs that I ll ever use... Hence despite the temptation to buy a tiny tube amp with dac, I went for fosi bt20a pro.. Its still in shipping...

About my just purchased two amps - -
As i had got hooked to my music hobby and the impatient freak that I am I had promptly ordered a couple of amps (as I had burned the voltage regulator I in my first XY-T00L) both sinilink branded and having a really good sounding class d ic in CS8673E (which got popular owing to chip shortage issues and proved rather awsoeme in those tiny class d amps)
They both work great rather better than great... One is 100w +100w other is 50w+50w..
With right input voltage source, right input connection and a decent preamp (read Spotify equalizer here ), both give very good output...

Will keep you folks posted with my lil journey.. Hope my interest remains for that long....

Could you post the links to the ones you bought please?

Sure
XY-T00L (https://inkocean.in/products/xy-t10...io-stereo-amplifier-board-aux-usb-bass-treble)
Very very nice, if you can arrange a 24V 6A power supply and use decent speakers this will certainly blow your mind...
Please remember I use ios Spotify with best quliaty streaming and enabling Normal listening environment and tweaking the equalizer, which works as a preamp for me.

XY-C50L (https://inkocean.in/products/xy-c50l-50w-50w-bluetooth-stereo-audio-amplifier-module)
Again pretty decent, but it gives good sound via aux connection, somehow BT audio was underwhelming for me...
All the rest was like as mentioned above in XY-T00L...
Its not as powerful, robust and colorful as the 100L for obvious reasons (this is 50+50 and that one is 100+100) but still it sounds good... 599 is peanuts for the quality really...

Fosi Audio BT20A PRO ( https://amzn.eu/d/cum0Ceo )
Yet to receive it...

Strange... I just found this same seller yesterday while looking for amps, was about to ask here if anyone had any experience with them!

Inkocean are good
They ship within 48hrs from Bangalore..
Please mind as these boards are sort of DIY hence they don't provide any warranty... You need to be careful for DOA stuff and report promptly, wrong power supply or wrong resistance of the speakers can burn the board.. So best is to use 19.5V 5A laptop adaptors and speaker pair with 4 to 8ohms of impendence...

hey if you come across any cheap TPA 3255 or high power BTL mono/2.1 boards do let me know. I have a meanwell 350W 48V PSU and a 400W sub sitting idle for want of an amp
I think inkocean has one but its 5 or 6k

Precisely the reason I didn't go for any of their 3255 DIY boards...
3255 based amps aren't available locally as well,
I suggest take a chnace with eBay... Atleast you are safe if the item doesn't reach and its pretty cheap as well, have a look

Wanted to share with you all that I was able to purchase the fosi BT20A PRO from amazon and have posted it's review here

User Review - My review of Fosi Audio BT20A Pro 300W x2 class D mini HiFi amplifier

Hey all A few of you might have seen my posts about class D amps... So after trying a few class D amps I decided to go for the Fosi Audio BT20A PRO which I bought from Amazon @7999. It was delivered yesterday and I devoted like 5 hours to test it... (the demo and testing is still going on and...

Guys I was wondering if i can use dvd player with audio out through rca ports as a source with my fosi amp..
It has rca ports as well..
Would I be getting good audio this way while playing my collection of audio Cds???

I think I might buy this one from a guy..

@greenhorn @ibose

 

[greenhorn]

Yes you can. It might not be a proper audiophile source, but it should work just fine

Edit, if you're looking to buy one, get a CDP?

There are none out there..
So zeroed in on a LG dvd player which has a digital audio out coaxial... Also ordered a 1tob2 rca cable from amazon... Lets see how that shows up..
Wil be bringing the dvdp hole today...

Yes you can and I also use my old Sony DVD player (Model No: DVP-SR520P) as a CDP now. It plays ACDs and CD-R/RW, DVD R/RW discs just fine. I use the Co-ax Audio Out from the DVD Player and connect that into my DAC and then the DAC is connected to my Amplifier which then leads to my passive speakers. Works like a charm.

Thanks for the clarification.
As I understand, all the dvd players that came in last 10 years or 12 which had usb port, also must be having some sort of basic DAC as well..
Cant I use it to directly connect with my fosi through coaxial out and get a decent audio.

The other thing I was wondering if there is a way to connect the dvd player with google chromecast audio wirelessly.. Chromecast audio has a fabtaduc DAC in it and just adds a while new level of audio input signal to your amplifier...
