That Kingrex model has the USB DAC and amp in one chassis, I believe. Unless you go with the optional power supply, I think you are looking at one relatively compact chassis to take care of everything. The T20U includes an integrated DAC for USB input that uses the Burr-Brown OPA2604AP for...

The Nuforce Icon is a little short on the power end. When looking for an amp with a sub out to drive my JohnBlue JB3's, did not find many options. Nuforce customer support themselves told me the Icon did not have enough power to drive the relatively inefficient JB3's. I ended-up ordering an...

Wish I had seen this Gizmo amp with the sub out before ordering the new Virtue Audio ONE.2. It just did not pop-up on my radar screen--should have looked harder. This Gizmo is more the price range I was hoping for. The Gizmo is probably not a 2024 based amp given the 25 watt per channel power...

I'm still not sure I will need the active crossover. Since I won't be pushing the JB3's TOO hard in a small room close near field setting, just letting them roll off may be fine. since the amp I'm getting has a buffered sub output, I don't really need to split the line level out coming from my...

I came across this, and while not a true "Tripath" chip, appears to be similar enough(?) being based on the Yamaha class D chip, to mention as a candidate for the successor to the original T-Amp in terms of bang-per-buck. For 50 bucks, if this review is accurate, looks like a cheap way to...

Quote: Originally Posted by xuxu I have an Icon and I don't see a sub out. It has stereo miniplug line-level out for sending signal to an external amp though. Since you have a decent sound card, why not use its subwoofer output? This appears to be the only option. I contacted...
