Hi FMs, let me report back on the early impression about the Fosi Audio amp. Will do a detailed review after I have had a chance to "buddy-up" with it for some time

and after it breaks-in (I think Class D amps need breaking-in too).
My equipment:
Pre-amp/Streamer - Arylic S50 pro+
Amp - Fosi Audio V3 32amp power supply
Switcher - Solupeak P2 2(1), all connected through banana plugs of various make, some old some new
Speakers - Pioneer SP-Fs52
Music Server - DLNA in Synology NAS DS220+
I was using my Denon Receiver AVR-X1300w as my amp before I switched my streaming requirements to this little device.
The difference is quite revealing.
Sound in Denon sometimes used to sound metallic and hence used to give me ear fatigue.
This (albeit not for a long time) is extremely clear and true to the songs/music, the vocals are crisp and clear and with a good base. Pl. note that I have not connected my subwoofer Wharfedale SW-150, so it is doing full-range to FS52.
The mid-range is definitely better than the Denon but I was expecting way more. It is not warm and quite aggressive (maybe a little more breaking in will change the sonic signature - I dont know).
Overall, it is very true to the sound-track is what my impression was, but I am no audiophile, and cant compare whether this beats a much higher range amp (this is what a lot of people claim). But overall, a very enjoyable sound and way better than the AV receiver.
And I also had a Panasonic SA-XR57S - the original Class-D tripath amp with chips fro TI, before I sold it to upgrade (downgrade?) to the Denon.
The Pana sounded very clean and revealing, and with no colourations, but in some music sources, the vocals and mid-range sounded a bit tinny.
Overll a very enjoyable sound it was. So I cant say that this is my first foray into class-d.
I feel the fosi audio is way better though.
