Pros & Cons

Update Pros and Cons
The AI used to provide these results are constantly improving. These results might change.

Pros

This is probably the best small form desktop reciever you will find. The device comes with a remote which is excellent – size, layout, and operation are flawless. Software interface is simplistic but very easy to use.

The fosi amp has a 5. Ohm bt. It can be used to power a subwoofer as well as a pair of speakers. The sub-woofer is located on the amp.

I own some very high end audio equipment (system approx $10,000) and consider myself at least an amateur audiophile. This thing is so much more powerful and better sounding than that weak smsl brand.

The da2120c takes 2x aaa batteries which is far superior to the bose/topping and other higher end brand remotes. The 2xaaa gives better power, longer battery life, and lower replacement cost. Pushes my old energy c-2 to produce great sound comparable ...  Read More



Cons

The fosi da2120c can not drive speakers as loud as the s. The output waveforms into a static 8 ohm load is much cleaner.

The fosi unit randomly makes a loud relay click which may or may not be related to the defect. The device is defective and will not turn on via the power button or the remote. It’s unusable for this purpose.

Quality


Sound quality, separation, easy to use, everything great.


The sub out is handy and the sound quality is great.


It gets loud at 99 volume and it had low distortion levels.


This product is making very bold claims that clearly don't hold water.

Price


Not really a big deal , almost did not take a star off .


For the price, it works well with my polk atrium 8 pair.


For it's size, capability, and cost, this unit kicks ass.

Shipping


Amazon promptly sent a replace and the replacement has performed flawlessly!


They were fast to respond but failed to deliver.


They eventually told me they were shipping me a replacement which i received within 8 days.

Packaging/appearance


Package includes the da-2020c unit, low voltage power cord, a 2-ft optical cable and the remote control.


I opened the box to find a used unit that was half hazard thrown into a spare fosi box they had laying around.


Since the box was not for this specific dac it bounced all around inside the box during shipping.


I honestly did not expect so much sound from this little box.

Competitiveness


It is nearly as good as my $1000 emotiva amp.


The bt20a uses an amplifier chip that is rated at 50w per channel, not 100w as fosi claims.


The left and right "spatial" separation is better than my more expensive indoor hifi system.


I previously tried fosi's highly regarded, smaller, bt20a amp.

    This is not a bad amp by no means but it doesnt replace an 800 dollar amplifier


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    However i wouldnt trust it to drive super big speakers some 3way speaker where the speaker has an 8 woofer in it would be its safe limit
