Aiyima T8 Tube Preamp (Go through and how it sounds)

A pretty awesome design and even better sound. This Aiyima T8 preamplifier offers a lot of features, a lot of connectivity and can be used as a DAC (digital to analog converter) via USB to PC connection.
I am satisfied with the ability to adjust bass and treble and very easy and logical controls. And for the cherry on the top of the cake, it sounds amazing.

Your powerAmp and speakers are very good.

[@paulbryden4006]

I'm thinking of getting this plus the A08 pro. Makes sense as they go together

[@sweetandsour6521]

Ya i did tbh i couldn't here a difference with the pre amp here on it too vs just connecting BT to the power amp... but the pre amp seemed to make the volume threshold alot higher and more featurs

[@gabrielgarza863]

@@sweetandsour6521 You can cheat it and use the headphone out as the preamp. Use a 3.5mm to RCA. This way you are utilizing the tube. As a preamp. It only uses the tube as a buffer.

@@gabrielgarza863 ya I tried that and tbh couldn’t tell a difference, and buffer as in…?

[@user-jc5ff7tu5o]

@@sweetandsour6521 This is because all outputs use the Tube

Thanks for your video!
Have you tried any Headphones or in ears on the headphone out?

[@saigen73]

Is the tube applied to the DAC, so both line out and headphone out have tube sound? Or it is regular dac, and tube is only on the headphone amp, so only headphones get tube sound, and line out is regular dac?

[@b6s4shelter]

have you tried using the 3.5mm Headphone jack as a sub out to a powered Sub?

Hi ALS, Once again you have completed a very good review and unboxing but you did seem a bit mystified when you took that USB thumb drive from the Aiyima T8 box. Still, and I must admit, I do like the Aiyima range of equipment and especially their prices. You know, it seems to me that Aiyima could be the new "Nobsound" for those taking their first steps into buying equipment to reproduce their music.
Until your next review.
Bob

[@als-techreview]

Thank you Bob! Yeah firstly I didn't know why is the USB stick for.. but after I plug it on my computer and see the drivers on it was clear to me..
Yeah I agree with you. The Aiyima puts out nice audio products on a good quality level and for the audiophile start on a budget I think they hit the point.

[@sweetandsour6521]

Does the tube on the pre amp go bad after a year ?

[@dannygonsalez27]

Will it give good sound only to a headphone. I will conndct my smartphone with jack to this to play music and listen in my headphone.

[@MasterofPlay7]

can you swap the op amp?

[@testaja3614]

Please review new nobsound ns-10g
I am curious about bass button effect please......

[@Thiago.R.F]

[@als-techreview]

Those are Sony SS-H551 speakers
