Dayton Audio DTA-120 Class T Digital Mini Amplifier 60 WPC (Black)
The Dayton Audio DTA-120 is a 60 watts per channel Class T amplifier that combines the power efficiency of Class D designs with the audio fidelity of a Class AB amp, for an ultra-small and affordable package that installs virtually anywhere.
Plenty of volume - turning the dial halfway up was more than enough to fill a medium sized room- Small size, easy to position pretty much anywhere- Solid build, large and fluid volume nob, power light isn't too bright .
The only downside is that there is no infrared capability for volume adjustment, but the until is well-built and sounds good nonetheless.
Item was in better packaging, came with higher quality accessories, and a solid build quality, and produces beautiful sound through my AJ's pioneer book shelve speakers.
I was impressed with the solid build and performance to date.
Of course the Infinity speakers with the powered subwoofers help because the amp only is feeding the mids and tweeters of the speakers and the onboard 150 watt sub amplifiers feed the woofers so the Dayton has an easy job to do.
It does an excellent job powering the devices and has exellent bass response
Does its job well, and easily drives it to very high volumes
Used the Dayton to amp up my computer audio, and it does a perfect job.
while it won't run them loud, it does a nice job hooked to my FLAC music library in the basement.

The case temperature only rises about 8° F above ambient when the amp is left idling, and the 7/8" diameter volume control knob feels better and allows finer control than some smaller plastic knobs found on audio interfaces
The slightly better construction probly tipped the scales and I chose to keep the Dayton, opting to have a noisier amp with better volume control
The only nice to have feature would have been a remote control but not necessary.

The sound quality isn't amazing but it worked for what I needed
I'm sad that the component quality is this bad
Sound quality was decent, and the materials used seemed solid
Item was in better packaging, came with higher quality accessories, and a solid build quality, and produces beautiful sound through my AJ's pioneer book shelve speakers.
I was looking for a cheap-ish, good quality small amp to hook to my computer
i have it hooked up to some quite nice 4 way speakers, and they sound very flat compared to the previous amps i've used them with.
Pair it with some good speakers, and you'll be glued to the spot in audio nirvana
Great at powering my speakers, but has channel imbalances at lower volumes
I don't think it's unreasonable to expect a $100 amp seldomly used to hold up longer than that, when other, less expensive computer speakers and amps I've had in the past have lasted a decade or more, with far more use
After a bit of use the the new speakers broke in and the system kept sound better and better
though, it could use a few vent holes as the unit gets warm VERY quickly and it stays warm (same temperature) the entire time.
Nice little unit, but I needed more power to drive my destop computer speakers.
The unit runs a little hot and I would have liked to see built in Bluetooth connectivity.
Unit becomes mildly warm during prolonged use, but not hot at allCons:- Small audible hiss when no source playing, though imperceptible from more than a foot or so away.
