Dayton Audio DA30 2 x 15W Class D Bridgeable Mini Amplifier

Funciona muy bien con mis pioneer diseñadas por Andrew Jones, son 15W por canal pero el volumen nunca lo subo a mas de 1/4 en el amplificador por que seria demasiado alto, y controlo el volumen desde el PC.

A year later and still kicking. Incredible sound for about the price of a set of cheap speakers.

I have NO idea how much experience with amp's the other person who left a 1 STAR review has but to me it's obvious it isn't very much. This amp is a SOLID performer with a Solid name to back it up. I have used, owned & own SEVERAL T-amp's as well as another D-class amp, tube amp & an A-B Amp.This little black box has amazing power packed into a Very small package. Most/Many people have a preconceived idea that seeing an amp that touts only 15 watts can't be all that loud....They would be & are extremely wrong in such an assumption. I have a Fiio A1 amp pushing a set of Micca MB42 speakers (which can also be found here on Amazon), so I can say from experience that, that is MORE than enough to fill a large room with enough sound to make you want to turn it down because you can't hear others talking. Also that particular amp is rated at 14watts per channel & I can tell you that 14watts pushing a set of efficient speakers is QUITE ENOUGH for most situations for listening to music.This DA30 is realllly nice! it isn't as "pretty" as the Fiio A1 but it packs a punch. Being it can be bridged (the reason I bought it) I have it pushing a single Lanzar OPTI6PM Opti Pro 400-Watt 6.5-Inch speaker meant for car audio. I am using it as a portable loudspeaker/boombox. If you were not looking directly at this set up, you would swear up & down a mountain it was a set of speakers NOT a single driver. This amp has more than enough power to push a speaker that is max rated at 220RMS.I could see this amp used for a variety of uses, most notable in a classroom or for presentations in a moderately size room with seating for 50 or so.The amp is small (approx same size as a package of top ramon or slightly larger than a Lepai 2020A+ T class amp only doesn't feel as cheap & tawdry as the Lepai) The volume knob is rubberized for easy grip, the balance, bass & treble control knobs are recessed so they are not easily tampered with or accidentally bumped. to adjust them only takes the tip of a nail file or small flat head screw driver. The audio is crisp & clear, no static or distortion. The sound is strong & clean. Highs aren't overly harsh but clear & bass is deep, not muddy. IF I ever need another small amp for another project I will be getting one of these for mono use without a 2nd thought....if you would like to know more about this Amp, here is a link to copy & paste which better describes it...https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XeN3voceDEE

This is one of very few mini-amps that has an Auto-Power-Off function which is why I bought it. It works well with an Echo Dot or Echo Input, provided you have not set the volume on the Echo device to low. Love the audio quality and the simple small formfactor design. It is reasonably heavy, 500g for the amp and 200g for the power supply which adds to the quality feel of the device, it's not as flimsy as some cheaper devices in this category.Unfortunately, the well working Auto-Power-Off function does not really save any energy!Auto-Off (LED Red): 3,3WAuto-On (LED Green): 3,4WPower Supply in outlet but not connected to the amp: 0,1WOff (manually using the switch on the DA30): 0,7WPlaying music, musik reasonably loud (but not maximum): 3,9W

I heard this amp was supposed to be above average. That is certainly not true in my book. I should have suspected this, as the company couldn't even provide 3 plastic knobs for base, treble, and balance. You need to adjust these with a screwdriver! Very inferior amp in all respects. Save your money and buy a better one. My old Lepai was much better but didn't last very long. I guess these small amps are mostly junk. You get what you pay for.
