Dauk audio u3 class A

[Slipmyster]

Hi everyone I'm just looking for opinions on this little amp

I can't seem to find much information on it. I have the Nobsound NS-08e that I like very much so was just looking at this little guy.
It look's to have some potential but I can't find any reviews.
Any information you can give would be greatly appreciated
Thank's

I've ordered one ill let you know what it's like when it comes.
Ill be comparing it to my ns-08e and my yamaha as500

My dauk audio u3 came today

I haven't spent much time with it yet but from what I've heard so far it is very good.
I tried it with the supplied USB cable and a phone charger and it worked but I would suggest running it from a proper power supply as it makes a big deference.
I'm using a multi voltage adapter at 7.5v 2a and it sounds really good with load's of detail running from a Sony CD player.

The little neoteck deck is running from the optical output to my NS-08e that gives me CD and bluetooth.
It's a handy little bit of kit.
Not a lot else I can say at present apart from it is a nice little amp well worth the money

Hi do you still use this set up? I recently bought the douk u3 simply because it was £25 and no real plan with what to go with it! I have a old marantz cd player , looking for budget components for bluetooth and a amplifier and headphones.

Get this power supply and use the M5 (5.5mm x 2.5mm) DC tip for your Douk U3:

Then, get this used DT880 600 ohm:

If you want some really short 0.5m RCA-to-RCA cables to make your setup look tidy:

Finally, a wooden-top metal headphone stand and/or components stand to keep everything in order:

Edit: If your old Marantz CD player has TOSLINK-out, then you can just connect it to the bluetooth receiver's TOSLINK-in and just ignore the 2-in/1-out RCA switch altogether. You will have to figure out how to switch between the Bluetooth receiver and the TOSLINK-in, but once you can, then you have a nicely convenient all-digital-input system.

Wow thanks for the comprehensive reply and links , think I will pretty much copy and paste your solution , will have to collect it over time with some ebay wheeler dealing as iam on a pretty tight budget.
The marantz cd player is a cd63 se from the 90s and has a toslink out I think so a saving can be made there. Iam very much looking forward to getting some nice shiny new toys.
