Review: Excellent Amp! - Yes, it's inexpensive, but it's also quite a good amplifier! Other reviewers have provided various opinions about what this amp can do. The following are some actual measurements I did: At 1% distortion levels, I measured output power levels of about 54W per channel into 8 Ohms and 115W into 4 Ohms. A more conservative power rating for this amp would be 50W and 110W into 8 and 4 Ohms respectively, at < 1.0% thd. That's certainly enough clean power for most speakers. This amp is very efficient, as expected with class D. During these power output tests the dummy load resistors I used became way too hot to touch, while the amp itself remained completely cool. Total harmonic distortion (thd, at 1kHz) is 0.06% for 1W and 0.1% for 10W into 8 Ohms, and 0.08% and 0.1% at 1 and 10W into 4 Ohms. That means at most listening levels distortion won't be audible. Frequency response goes below 5Hz and is smooth with a slight gradual rise to about +0.2 dB around 16kHz, down 1dB around 26kHz and falling rapidly after that, which is pretty much inherent in a class d amp. That is pretty smooth. Output impedance is about 0.2 Ohms, which is probably just a reflection of the output device's "on" resistance. That gives damping factors of 40 and 20 at 8 and 4 Ohm loads, which is pretty good (other amps have better damping factors but I think better than 20 gives diminishing returns!) Finally noise (inputs shorted measuring 20-20kHz) is 140 (left channel) and 174 (right channel) uV into 8 Ohms, corresponding to a signal to noise level of -103 and -101 dB at full power (50W per channel) into the 8 Ohm load. That's pretty quiet! Two complaints -- 1) with the supplied 36V 5A power supply you aren't going to get the power outputs I mention above driving both channels at once. That probably doesn't matter for most listening purposes, but, you could substitute a different power supply -- desertcart lists a 36V switching power supply that puts out 13.5 amps for less than $50 -- that would really drive this amp, probably giving the power levels I mentioned both channels driven simultaneously. You'd need a good selection of high power dummy load resistors to test this! And 2) the gain with the volume control at max is about 35 dB. That means for most inputs you have to turn the gain way down to not blast your speakers, which in effect throws away some of your signal to noise. It would have been better if the gain was 8 dB or so lower. The chip manufacturer data sheet shows overall gain is selectable, but the SMSL implementation doesn't support that, unfortunately. Bottom line, for most 2-channel home audio purposes this amp would be hard to beat! One final point -- I sure would like to know why this amp is listed as a "Black Accordion Accessory!" Mine did not include an accordion, thankfully.
Review: Works fine and is reliable - Works fine and is reliable. Is high power for it's size and offers simplicity. Definitely has some undisclosed bass boost included in the circuit that I find annoying.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great value
*by R***N on October 18, 2014*

This is my 6th desktop amp. I also have the $20 Lepai, $80 Fiio A1 (sadly discontinued), $100 Topping TP30, $180 Nuforce Icon, and the $200 Audioengine N22. Of those, the only one I think sounds less than very good is the Lepai, which sounds just good up until the volume goes past 12 o'clock and introduces noise. The Nuforce has the best build quality, but it's rather weak and sounds kind of boring (some might say accurate). The Audioengine provides the most honest power at 22 watts x 2, and it's the only A/B amp of them all; I like its sound, but I sometimes wish it had more warmth. The Fiio sounds the best to me, providing a good warm sound and being somewhat more powerful than the Topping and Nuforce. But every amp has the compromise of not quite enough power. The SMSL 98E, which I've had about 1 week thus far, easily has the most power of them all. I read on an audio forum that this might supply in the ballpark of an honest 2 x 50 watts for the typical 8 ohms speaker. Pretty good for a miniature $80 amp. It supplies more than enough power for my 90db Bic towers. Going from memory, I'm thinking it sounds warmer (better?) than the Nuforce and Audioengine, probably similar to the Topping, but not quite as warm as the Fiio. This is probably a good middle ground of sounding mostly accurate with a little warmth (accentuated bass, tamed highs). It sounds very good. At $90, this is the best value of any desktop amp I own. The build quality is great. I will update if I encounter any issues later on. Thus far, I highly recommend. Buy!
