It is quite dim compared to my photography light and when I tried to brighten it, it brought out the chromatic aberrations in my lens. While tiny, it is very sharp and clear white color. Back panel shows the innovation of using 1/4 jacks to bring balanced output in such a small enclosure: The remote...

We’re thrilled to introduce the XduooTA66 an OTL headphone tube amp that merges classic engineering with the convenience of modern components.   Rather than use a PCB, this amp uses point-to-point wiring, a traditional technique that connects every component together with copper wiring.

WiiM Amp Streaming Amplifier Review

I was pleasantly surprised by the good bit of weight this small box has. It will help it not slide with the weight of the speaker wires and such. Back panel shows the differentiation from a regular amplifier: With included streaming, you have a one box solution to play your content over the network. You can use the included Bluetooth remote or the application. The latter was rock solid which is more than I can say about some other (major) streaming...
