Video review
Our take on the brand
Our Summary
Product Strengths
- Very well-built and feels solid and heavy for its size
- Uses high-quality components such as Japanese Alps potentiometer, Omron relay, Nover Gold Audio capacitors, and Toshiba transistors
- Has a toroidal transformer that is considered overkill for its power output, which is a positive thing
- Has a warm sound signature, sometimes described as tube-like
Product Considerations
- Lacks a volume indicator on the knob
- Only has one set of RCA inputs, which may limit connectivity for some users
- Some reviewers found the 50 watts per channel to be lacking punch with certain speakers
- Has no remote, digital inputs, streaming capabilities, or phono stage
- The gold color of the chassis may not appeal to everyone
Comparisons (according to reviewers)
- Fosi Audio HD-A1 is slightly cleaner with a lower noise floor than the Emotiva A300, but lacks the punch
- Paired with infinity intermezzo 4.1 T speakers, the Fosi Audio HD-A1 sounds better than the Marantz nr1200 powering Sony SSCS5 speakers
- The Fosi Audio HD-A1 has a similar clean, powerful class A/B signature as the Emotiva A300, but with a touch of warmth
Takeaway: The Fosi Audio HD-A1 is a compact and powerful amplifier with high-quality components and a warm sound. It could be a great entry point into hifi audio.
Video review
Our take on the brand
Our Summary
Product Strengths
- Easy sound that's far better than one might expect for a product this inexpensive
- Dynamics are especially good, and there's plenty of dynamic swing
- Top end was exceptionally smooth and musical
- Fosi is small, but it seems solidly put together
Product Considerations
- When being driven by any of the digital inputs, the DA2120D would emit a burst of varying durations that sounded almost like white noise
- The burst varied with volume, potentially damaging speakers
- The issue appears to be a fault in the Fosi's internal DAC, and only happened while driving the Fosi from one of its digital inputs
Takeaway: The DA2120D offers good sound quality and dynamics for its price, making it a potentially worthwhile option if using AUX or Bluetooth input. It is a well-executed design in many ways.
