AIYIMA A80 Bluetooth Amplifier DAC Stereo HiFi Residence Audio Receiver with PFFB 2.0 Channel Hello-Res Class D Energy Amp with PC-USB Coaxial Optical TRS RCA Enter

Good small integrated amplifier with display
It’s great for what it is. Pretty much plug and play. Connected to Bluetooth with no issues. Nice display and sounds good.

I wish it was bigger but its a Great deal in a tiny package For less than 250$
I paid 226$ for this tiny amp, just to have the vu meter 🤣 i wish it was bigger so it will have more presence it the room, but for 226 can complain.

Non credevo… Molto soddisfatto. Il migliore classe D+Dac HI Res . Il piccolo display è bello e funzionale. Anche la potenza soddisfa le mie spettative,non c’è bisogno di un alimentatore 48-10 A, bastano i 240 watt garantiti dai 5 Amper. Provato con paio di casse 3 vie da 80 watt l’una con picco da 260 watt e devo dire che pompa gia’ a meta volume, Ho 4 tipi di monitor studio che ,naturalmente sono piu performanti ,per esigenza di studio,sopratutto nei bassi, ma potrei aggiungere un sub attivo,visto che lo scatolotto è provvisto dell’uscita ,lo usero’ come secondo impianto hi-fi- Hi-res per l’acolto del mio archivio musicale

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 DesignThe 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 FeaturesOne 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 QualityEquipped 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 ObservationsThe 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.ConclusionThe 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.
