Thanks for your interest in Aroma AIR. Just to let you know, it only supports Bluetooth connection and doesn't support USB input.

Hope that helps clarify things. Let us know if you have any other questions!

Hey everyone,

I just wanted to share some fun for all Aroma AIR users. Did you know you can perform OPAMP rolling on your AIR to achieve different sound characteristics? OPAMP rolling refers to replacing the operational amplifier in the audio circuit with a different one to achieve other sound characteristics.

For example, you can try the MUSES01 OPAMP and experience the differences in the soundstage, tonality, and detail. It's an excellent way to customize the sound to your liking and have fun with your Aroma AIR.

But that's not all. You can also replace the battery (18650 ) in your AIR to explore different sonic performances. It's a fun and exciting way to experiment with your gear and find the perfect sound for your preferences.

So, what are you waiting for? Try OPAMP rolling and battery replacement on your Aroma AIR, and let us know what you think. Let's share our experiences and have some fun with our audio gear.

Hi Everyone,

We wanted to share an exciting review of our Aroma Audio AIR by SPILL ( https://www.spill.hk/headphones/AROMA-Audio-Air-review/). We are thrilled to receive such positive feedback from experts in the field, and we translate their comments into English.

== Review from SPILL ==
"As the brand's first portable Bluetooth decoding headphone amplifier, AROMA Audio's pursuit and insistence on good sound can also be seen on the Air. In fact, there are many similar products on the market. Compared to them, Air has a pure functionality without USB DAC, and additional input/output ports, to focus on making the Bluetooth signal the best and maximizing its enhancement. It does achieve that goal."

Why is the gain switch under the op-amp? Was there any particular engineering reason for this

Just bought the Air and I'm excited to play with it.

One question: How do we which op-amps to choose from? Is it a certain compliance standard? What should we look out for?

If someone can share a list of op-amps they've tried/recommend, that would be helpful. I've heard people mention the Burson v5i.
