You will be shocked, folks! Chantal + Fosi = SHOCK!!!

No Pure Class A this time. This is a sample made with cheap Chinese Class D amp: Fosi ZA-3. I bought this amp for approx 100€ for DAC burning-in. It is perfect for this purpose, as you can use it 24hrs nonstop ant device remains not even warm. Using Sugden for DAC burn-in means big electricity bill and unnecessary warming up the amplifier.
But today for the first time I wanted to try, how this cheap Chi-Fi sounds. Just for curiosity. And I have to admit that I am deeply shocked. As you can hear on the sample - Fosi ZA-3 sounds like few thousand € amp. I would say that it sounds like a good valve amp. Not very good, but good for sure! In my opinion Fosi has no competition to approx 2000€ price tag. It simply has no sense to pay more than 100€ in this price class. Everything under 2000€ will be worse or max on Fosi level. INCREDIBLE! This is a real KILLER and huge revolution on affordable audio devices market. Very nice sound, indeed! Where is typical Class D harshness? This small thing is musical and cultural like a hell. WOOOOOOW!
