Sabaj Audio A2 Digital Amplifier with Built-in AptX Bluetooth - Black

Sometimes when perusing Amazon, you'll see a product with a name you don't recognise and wonder if it'll actually be any good. This was definitely one of those, independent online reviews are slim to non-existent but I looked at the Amazon reviews and bought it (with fingers crossed). Happily I have to say, this tiny little amplifier works great (with a pair of old floor standing speakers I had). Bluetooth works well if you're in the same room, it won't really work through walls. Sound is clear (don't change the EQ setting though), loud enough, simple to operate. Remote is a fairly basic plastic affair, but does the job. I'm using it plugged into the TV (via optical), a DVD player (for playing CDs via coax>phono adapter) and Bluetooth streaming from an iPhone 6 and a Galaxy S6, it all works perfectly.So tiny and such a bargain!Nobody paid me anything for this review. typical.

Audiophile sound quality for not very much money and in a tiny package. A great product. The reason I am only giving 4 stars is the instruction manual could be better. It is not clear what the various buttons on the remote control actually do, and it took me forever to figure out how to switch between the 3 input modes. I shouldn't have to resort to Google and YouTube to figure out how to use such a simple and basic device.

Bought this mainly because of the price, being the cheapest amp i could find that was suitable for my speakers. I was very pleased with it. Presentation is great, comes with a handy remote, bluetooth works well, not the longest range but certainly enough for most applications and the interface is really easy to use.One thing I've noticed is that it does get warm durign use although this is maybe down to the speakers I am running.

This amplifier outputs a quiet but rather abrasive buzzing sound via the speakers. It's not loud -- only noticeable in silence -- but it's an irritating background noise for my living room! The buzz is the same regardless of which input is selected (the only one I've connected is the optical input), and does not change in loudness whilst I adjust the volume, but it does stop when the amp is muted. It's not just a one-off fault -- a replacement has the exact same issue.The next model up (Sabaj A3) does not have any buzz at all though and is superior in just about every way -- I recommend spending the extra £20.Also, the manufacturer has changed the remote control -- it now comes with a better-looking one than is currently shown in the photos, but it doesn't come with batteries (takes 2x AAA) and since it's the same generic one that several manufacturers use, it has a few buttons which don't perform any useful function...

Absolutely amazing little amp. Smaller then I expected but packs a punch belief me. I only review when it's a really good product. I have a gaming pc with optical out connected via this to 2 speakers in my dining room for use with Virtual DJ. 5 stars for the unit itself. Bluetooth works flawlessly with my Android phone and girlfriends iPhone. Connected straight away. Also works with Alexa flawlessly. Only downside is the controller but that is probably because I'm using some recycled batteries. Again it's amazing. I would recommend some banana plugs which I have ordered separately. This is optional, but just for ease of use. For the price it's spot on.

Using the DAC I noticed a clear boost to the volume & quality instead of my laptop soundcard to my speakers. There was no noticeable static or interference with my audio setup. I would recommend this DAC to anyone who uses PC speakers or headphones, note it only connects with optical audio not USB.The DAC itself is a sleek metal device with a premium feel to it. There are two inputs for 3.5mm and RCA. The volume knob also has a good weight to it and is graded when turning up or down. Red LED volume display for volume.Perfect addition for an audiophile!

Very good for the price, have been looking for something to connect my TV to passive speakers through optical input and this works well

Nice, good sound quality however it cuts out when turned too high.

Da ich zwei gute Bose-Boxen geschenkt bekommen hatte, war ich auf der Suche nach einem Verstärker. Zugegeben, ich kenne mich auf dem Sektor gar nicht aus. Ziemlich unbedarft habe ich mich erst einmal über die teilweise sehr hohen Preise für Verstärker gewundert.Für mich sollte es jedenfalls ein Verstärker mit Fernbedienung sein, da die Boxen in Verbindung mit dem Fernseher genutzt werden sollten. Nach langem hin und her habe ich mich für dieses günstige Modell entschieden, da es recht klein und unauffällig ist, eine Fernbedienung hat und die entsprechende Leistung gemäß der Angabe auf den Boxen.Für den Preis hatte ich nicht viel erwartet, wurde aber positiv überrascht!Der Klang ist super, das Gerät hat zwei verschiedene Basseinstellungen (das wird dem einen oder anderen nicht reichen, mir aber schon), kann Bluetooth empfangen und die Fernbedienung ist auch in Ordnung.Die Fernbedienung würde ich hier noch als das größte Manko bezeichnen. Sehr klein und dünn, könnte auch mal schnell flöten gehen. Aber sie funktioniert und das ist die Hauptsache.Ich würde mich wieder für den Verstärker entscheiden, da er alles mitbringt was ich brauche. Wer einen Verstärker mit vielen Einstellungsmöglichkeiten benötigt, wird aber nicht glücklich werden.

D'autres y trouveront d'autres utilisation, je m'en sert pour mon bureau, et la qualité est au rendez-vous! Produit très dépouillé, juste le nécessaire, tout ce qui me plait! Incroyablement efficace compte tenu de sa taille (un gros paquet de cigarettes!).

L'apparecchio si presente compatto e robusto, forse troppo compatto per i miei gusti visto che ero abituato ad amplificatori di dimensioni ben maggioriBuono il telecomando, seppur plasticoso che consente di acceendere spegnere l'ampli, regolare il volume, inserire il Mute e switchare i 3 ingressi (ottico, analogico e blutooth) oltre ad inserire il famigerato EQ1a dire il vero il blutooth versione 4.0 mi sembra la caratteristica più debole di questo ampli fda e l' ascolto si presenta avvastanza chiuso.che mi ha confinto che sia meglio non usarloLo ascolto da un paio di mesi ed e quindi ben rodato, al momento lo utilizzo per l'ascolto di musica liquida dal pc in collegamento toslink con due buone casse autocostruite e devo dire che il suono e a patto di non eccedere don il volume oltre i 40 in scala, molto, molto dettagliato e brillante con un palcosenico suffidientemente esteso se riferito alle piccole casse che impiego. Ottima anche la tridimensionalita del suono... che mi ha permesso di godermi appieno ed in modo sorprendente dischi come THE WEAWERS - Reunion at Carnegie Hall 1963 - o Chet di Chet Askins o anch brani come thank you di Bozz Scags sono riprodotti con una nitidezza ed un dettaglio eccellente tali da percepire le singole vibrazioni delle corde del contrabbasso cosa che non avrei mai ritenuto possibile per un oggetti di un simile prezzo.Il convertitore DA High End Wolfsson wm8524 sembra eseguire il proprio lavoro in modo ineccepibile, certo che in apparecchi di maggior pregio è sicuramente in grado di rendere ancora meglio.ma stiamo parlando di un minuscolo ed economico amplificatore in classe D che sa far bene il proprio lavoro, ben oltre il prezzo richiesto.Deprecabile unicamente la funzione EQ1 che vorrebbe essere una specie di loudness ma che non fa altro che impastare i bassi in maniera inaccettabilei 50 watt dichiarati su 8 ohm sembrano essere poco utilizzabili anche con musica hard rock, ma limitandosi con il volume l' ascolto è sicuramente pregevolenei prossimi giorni dovrei integrare con altri due ampli full digital. e questo mi consentirà di fare paragoni effettivi, ma già di partenza so che difficilmente potranno farmi cambiare idea su questo gioiellino.ila foto consente di rencersi meglio conto del retro dell' apparecchio una volta connesso ....

combined the old with the new / optical out to speaker controller

Ottimo prodotto.se abbinato a dei diffusori di buona fattura ,suona veramente bene.ottima costruzione.per chi vuole spendere poco ed avere un ampli digitale che suoni bene lo consiglio.
