Anyone tried the Nobsound Mini Dual TPA3116?

The cost is low and it sounds correct so this is why I recommended this kind of unit to friends.

I used one during months when I was in China (and my audio toys in my home country) and continue to use one in the bedroom back home now. But went to another tpa solution because I wanted something simpler, a raspberry Pi and x400 card plugged in the gpio, so it is only one box and one power unit.

My main complaint is the box is too small to change things (speaker cables and RCA) so I think if you never change anything it’s ok but if you change things you have to find a bigger box or build yourself as I did with the X400 card powered by TPA3118.

Another point, I used a computer power block and to me 20V is the sweet pot, but it runs with 12V if you want, and it’s possible to go down as low as 5/6V!

I am a great fan of the TPAxxxx family from TI. I have used a lot of cards since 2011 with TPA3116 and also bought some cards with dual TPA3116 and even in the box like the Nobsound, maybe with another “brand” engraved on the front plate.
