Pros & Cons
Pros
This amp is known as the workhorse of amps. Even compared to a high-end amp, this little guy is mighty. This is much better than my lepai amp that i had as it outputs more wattage and looks better.
Using this with the fluance signature series bookshelf speakers and a audio engine d1 dac. Driving a pair of tannoy profile 631s, pretty efficient 5 bookshelves on my desk. I kind of wish it had a headphone jack, but it's not a deal breaker.
Sound is super clean with no distortion. Unbelievably big sound from a tiny box. It delivers very clear power to the speakers.
Cons
It wont turn off, the power button still actuates but doesn't do anything. Had to return, was clipping at less than half the power. Doa on arrival.
Highlights
Quality
The sa50 combined with the fluance speakers provide a very clean transparent and powerful sound

I hear no evidence of this with the sa50
The result is astonishingly clear sound that is completely free of the old analog hum that was always mixed in with the sound

The posts on the back are very small and finicky once again this is a subtle annoyance and is not something that affects performance or regular use but when setting this up dont expect to have room for beefy cables or banana clips cause it aint happening

All of their amps ive tried have good sound quality but one of the other models that had multiple analogue inputs did not seem to have as much power as this one does even though the wattage rating was very similar
