Bluetooth Transmitter, Wireless Portable Stereo USB Transmitter, Bluetooth 4.2 for 3.5mm Audio Devices & RCA Connections, Paired with Bluetooth Receiver Works While Charging

I built a cabinet for my TV. I wanted to place some external speakers in the cabinet. I did not want a soundbar. I needed a small amplifier to drive the external speakers. This amplifier works so well for my application. My setup sounds amazing.

A joke amp. It is a fraction of the power advertised

Tenía guardadas unas bocinas de un teatro en casa Logitech Z906 que se me dañó y que me daba mucho pesar deshacerme de ellas porque me parecen muy buenas, investigando di con este pequeño aparato y después de leer y ver videos en YouTube decidí comprarlo, la verdad me impresionó por varias razones, lo mas obvio es su tamaño (en general casi todos los amplificadores de este tipo son grandes y feos) lo tenía pensado como sistema de sonido para mi sala y es muuuy discreto, la segunda razón es la facilidad y sencillez para conectarlo y configurarlo, lo haces literalmente en 3 min y por ultimo su potencia es muy buena tal vez le hace falta un poco de bajos pero por el precio tan bajo tengo un sistema de sonido bluetooth e inteligente (ahorita explico esta parte) decente y puedo seguir utilizando mis bocinas. Bueno ahora esta la parte de hacerlas inteligentes, me gusto tanto el sistema que quise ir un poco mas alla y sacarle mas jugo, pues descubrí como conectarlas a un chrome nest y ahora las instrucciones de reproducción que le doy a mi asistente personal se reproduce en mis bocinas a través de bluetooth, simplemente increíble para unas bocinas que estuve a punto de tirar literalmente hablando, así que ahora tengo un sistema de sonido de buena calidad y es smart, no puedo pedir mas Compraré otro para las otras bocinas que tengo del mismo teatro en casa y las pondré en mi oficina, me tiene encantado.

Not working and not powering on at all

The reviews that claim this is "unbelievable for the size and cost" are rather... apocryphal. That said for a USB DAC, I would definitely say it's fairly decent, and overall does a good job. I use this to drive some 160W Pioneer reflex loudspeakers and it does a good job; I have this amp at 1/4 on the volume dial and that's plenty enough for room easy listening, with little noticeable distortion and no obvious clipping. The connectors on the back work with both spliced cables or banana plugs; I did reuse some existing decent audio cables and it's comical how they drag the small lightweight amp down. I do have some cons though: - By default the unit seems to enter Bluetooth mode (blue status led) and I need to unplug/replug the USB cable for it to switch back to USB (green status led). - Mode changes are accompanied by an absolutely unnecessary "USB mode" or "Bluetooth mode" announcement via the speakers. I wish this could be turned off as it's wholly unnecessary to hear when I power up my system. - When the USB plug is connected and the laptop source is not issuing any sound, there's a clear white noise hiss coming out of the speakers. It is _very_ noticeable. That does not happen in BT mode. So let that sink a bit: in USB mode, there's a clear *analog* white noise hiss when there's no USB signal... That leads me to believe they don't turn the amp off even though the USB is not providing any data. That white noise is present in the "quiet" sections of music too. - I tried to use it in BT mode and there's a clear noticeable delay, at least 250 ms or more. It's significant enough that I can't watch a movie with that in BT mode. - The power supply is fairly light and never seems to get too hot. Probably the typical buck converter design. It would not be a bad idea to put these behind a power strip and cut power completely when you're done. Bottom line : The sound is acceptable for what costs a fraction of a proper USB DAC. However the BT/USB switch and the mode announcements are real turns off.
