So as I am getting back to buying smaller, cheaper - and more AFFORDABLE amps and preamps I got cheapest DartZeel clone I could find, by ASYPDZSW. Yes, I had to put my tongue in intensive care after trying to say that name.
But the amp internally looks good, check the video and stay tuned for full review!
If you want to try one to enter the "clone world" you can get yours from the same store - so tested as safe and reliable - I got mine from (best price and shipping combined at that time) here:

Do you access to those circuit diagrams !?
What “exactly” makes one have more base !?
Is it the extra power supply Dc power available to reproduced those base sounds !?
What is the circuit that makes that better base sounds!?
Is it the Transistors at the IPS stage, the VAS or the Output stage?
Will you make a video for that type of discussion !?
You guessed it - I want to make my own !
I think there are many people used to good audio, that want to upgrade to more audiophile level gear, and they become a bit overwhelmed with huge selection. And the CHIFI (i love this term) scene makes it more possible than ever to enter the audiophile world at a low price. And those people are wondering if its worth spending 400$, or maybe add some more and buy those 800$ speakers, and what amp would be the most justified for different price points. I think you get my idea.
These, burmester 933, quad 405, A1s marantz ma9 clone or others for a 3 ways speakers 120 watts 4 ohms 93 db sensitivity with a 27 cm bass woofer who goes down at 3.2 ohms. It’s for low listening levels or medium at max in a 15-20 square meter room. Folk, blues, jazz and some reggae music. Budget amplifier 250-350 euros/dollars range Thank you all for your advices!
Here's my setup:
Wiim Ultra - Fiio K13 R2R (in oversampling mode) - Cary SLP 90 (Psvane Xart series tubes and a combination of Mundorf and Jantzen capacitors) - NHB 108 - Dali Oberon 5.
Thank you very much, Tom, and your channel.
Thanks!
i got the standard d5 (that came with bc caps instead of elna) for <500€ including shipping and tax. it's driving some b+w cm10 floorstanders pretty nicely 😊
