Hi All,
Long story short - I lost my Onkyo TX NR 818 AVR during a lightning strike last year and tried to reinstate some components of it which didn't help.. So planning for a stereo set-up that should suffice for the next 2 yrs until i get a new AVR..
I accidentally came across SMSL Q5 Pro when i was looking for a DAC and came across FX Audio D802 too Both are approx $120 on amazon.com..
SMSL Q5 Pro Pure Digital HiFi Amplifier - https://www.amazon.com/SMSL-Digital...F8&qid=1469258533&sr=8-4&keywords=smsl+q5+pro
SainSonic FX Audio D80 - https://www.amazon.com/SainSonic-D8...F8&qid=1469258533&sr=8-7&keywords=smsl+q5+pro
I have a friend coming from US/UK in a months time, so planning to get it from there..
I really like both the amplifiers for its compact size, the features (remote) and the connectivity options (USB Input, Optical & co-axial inputs)... Am more inclined towards SMSL Q5 Pro since it has sub-out...Only the power output seem to be less..
PC will be my source for music & movies and plan to connect STB... Will be pairing it with Sonodyne Sonus 1501 BS (86 db)..
Please share your inputs...
