FQA:

Q: All my wires are connected. Why is there no sound?

A: 1. Check whether the machine is turned on and whether it has switched to the corresponding input channel.

2. Check whether the back-end connection is correct and whether the volume is in the minimum state.

3. If all the above are normal, check whether the input playback device is silent, paused, or the volume is at its minimum.

Q: Why can't I search for bluetooth pairing names?

A: Due to the design of this machine, bluetooth does not work when using other channels for input. You just need to switch the input to Bluetooth mode.

Q: Why does the sound break

A: Although this product is the front stage of DAC, it also has the function of amplification. If the volume of the rear stage device is turned up to the maximum, the volume of the front stage is also turned up to the maximum, which is easy to distort. At this time, you just need to turn down the volume of the front stage or the rear stage.

Q: Why is there a lot of electrical noise from the horn?

A: If you are not using the original standard power supply, please replace the power supply and test again.Many power supply ripple interference factor is large will cause a lot of current sound.

Q: Why does the speaker make a loud buzzing sound when I plug in the input cord and don't play the audio source?

A: when the signal line without shield is used, the interference signal will enter the power amplifier for amplification. Replacing the signal line with shield can effectively solve the interference sound, or unplug the signal line.

3.0 out of 5 stars Buen Amp para mejorar el sonido de un celular
Reviewed in Mexico on 6 May 2022
Verified Purchase
Me agradó el diseño del producto, así como la posibilidad de manipular graves y agudos de una forma fácil y rápida. Básicamente lo utilicé para mejorar el sonido del celular y escuchar la música desde Spotify en Alta Definición con unos audífonos Beuerdynamic 990 a 250 Ohms.

El sonido mejoró en relación a la salida Jack del celular, sobre todo en los bajos, sin embargo para las frecuencias altas, el Amp no llega a tener la calidad necesaria para manejar correctamente dichos audífonos.

No me parece un mal producto, sin embargo probablemente lo acabe cambiando por algo que tenga mejor resolución.

5.0 out of 5 stars Versatile Tube Preamp That Pairs Well With Aiyima A07
Reviewed in the United States on 15 August 2021
Verified Purchase
I was trying to decide between this Aiyima T8 and the Douk P1, but this one won me over due to the remote control and optical in, which the P1 both lack. This (with the Aiyima A07 power amp) is replacing an SMSL AD18 that's going to my garage. I needed a versatile, inexpensive, and small preamp unit for my bedroom, and this is perfect for my needs. This and the A07 are currently feeding Emotiva B1+ speakers. My audio source is a Chromecast Audio connected to the T8 via optical in, and while the Sabre ES9018K2M isn't the newest DAC chip around, it is still very capable. I also tried the RCA, USB, and bluetooth inputs, and they all work well.

One thing to note is that there's been a bit of confusion regarding the tube signal output. Some online reviews have stated that if you want the tube sound, you need to use the front 3.5mm headphone out only. After emailing with Aiyima, they confirmed that the tube signal also goes to the rear RCA out. In fact, there is no audio output at all if no tube is inserted. Anyway, I've been using a NOS 6N3P-E tube and am happy with the sound.

Lastly, the bass and treble adjustments are nice feature. Since I'm using this in an upstairs bedroom where I do not want a subwoofer placed, a slight increase in bass EQ is all that my speakers need to sound more full-bodied when playing music. A slight negative though is that from what I know, the only way to adjust treble and bass is thru the remote control. If you lose or damage the remote, you're out of luck with EQ adjustments.

Overall, I like this T8 a lot. I'm a fan of small budget hifi components, and this is perfect for my needs. This paired with the small and excellent A07 sound better than my outgoing AD18.

5.0 out of 5 stars AIYIMA T8 Tube Headphone Amp - Amazing little tube dac amp! great sound, quality build!
Reviewed in the United States on 2 May 2022
Verified Purchase
I had picked up this little dac amp to use primarily as a headphone amplifier. I has a unique upright design that fits perfectly on the limited space on my desktop. I was very impressed with the overall build quality when I first opened the box. The construction of the case is pretty thick aluminum with excellent fit and finish, and it has very attractive real wood rails that serve to protect the tube on top. The front red volume knob is made of aluminum and has a nice click to it and it has a very sharp blue green OLED mini display that display all functions. I was very pleased with the full function remote control ( something you normally don't get at this price point) - it controls all functions and has a very good range. I spent most of the day testing the amp on my collection of headphones. I sounded great on all of them - with that warm tube goodness and has ample power to power even my largest planar headphones. It really rounded out the sound some of my headphones with higher treble levels. The unit uses a standard size 12vt ac adapter ( not one of those giant ones some other tube amps use). I tested the Bluetooth briefly and the range was impressive - I was able to stay connected in all areas of my house and even into my yard. Overall, I am very happy with this amp and can't wait to relisten to my music collection with it in the coming weeks.

4.0 out of 5 stars Beautiful sound and fully feature packed! But.....
Reviewed in the United States on 8 June 2023
Verified Purchase
When I started my mission to look for a to replace my old tube preamp, I wanted to find something pretty much straightforward without spending too much money to insert between my PC and stereo. I was fortunate enough to discover the AIYIMA T8 6N3 Digital Tube Preamplifier. The price is slightly higher than your typical pick of tube preamps for a very good reason. This product is PACKED with features making it a perfect solution to gain high quality sound! I am highly impressed with the simplified and compact design employing a single tube for 2 channels, but furthermore the options to interface between a variety of equipment including audio sources through bluetooth, RCA, Fiber, and digital is what makes this unit a must have! The selling point for me was the fact I can plug this preamp into my PC and feed sound directly into the tube preamp guaranteeing the highest of quality with sample rates for A/D conversion up to 192khz/24-bit. I am not an audio expert or audiophile person by no means and can not give a product comparison with other tube preamps. I do highly recommend this amp for anyone seeking a starter solution to enjoy high quality audio, especially if your sound source is going to be your PC. The unit is extremely simple to operate with one button on the front to control most of the features, and a remote to control all the features including bass/treble settings. Even if you don't have an amplifier or an amplified speaker system (which is required for use with those setups), you can still enjoy an amazing experience by using the headphone jack as the unit can power headphones.

If the headline caught your attention, there is a "but" and why the overall rating is 4 stars instead of 5. I will also add I doubt most people will experience this issue, but this is just a note so you are aware. I do have a problem when playing video games or opening any program that's resource intensive that sometimes using the preamp in the PC source mode (using USB from computer to deliver sound) that the driver crashes and I stop hearing sound. The only way I have found to recover from the crash is to restart the preamp by powering off and back on. I really hate doing this since I'm turning a tube off and back on uneccessarily, but only way I can make it work again. I generally work around this problem by connecting the preamp to my internal soundcard and not using the USB/sound drivers. The result is degraded audio since my internal sound card is not has good. This bugginess is disappointing but I chalk this problem up to potentially the fact I am running Windows 7 still (boo.!!!).

I still overall recommend this preamp highly! I plan on buying a second one for experimentation for car audio soon and fingers crossed to achieve good results. It's worth mentioning the unit runs off of 12 volts DC and it's very hard to find 12 volt preamps! Thank you again AIYIMA, you have made an amazing product for today's needs without breaking the bank!

5.0 out of 5 stars Very Cool Little Tube PreAmp w/Remote
Reviewed in the United States on 22 January 2024
Verified Purchase
This is a very well built piece of audio gear and the warmth of the tube is always a nice touch! Very decent unit especially considering the price, which is very fair and allows you to choose between different types of sources for transmitting your audio signal..! It has a Treble & Bass EQ control, I personally would have liked it to have a Mid EQ control also, but it does fairly well with just the Treble and Bass, it also offers around 4-5 different EQ presets...! This unit offers many options for sending your audio signal... It has a BT receiver so you can sync your Turntable if you have one that transmits a BT signal, not the many TTs out there that actually receive a BT signal which means the TT most likely has built in speakers that you can listen to the audio you have on your phone or mp3 player, etc. You need a TT that sends/transmits the audio signal from your record player to the preamp, it also has SPDIF/Coax & Toslink Optical, Bluetooth w/RCA analog output that you can hook to a stereo receiver or to Powered Monitors that accept RCA plugs, or if you have a small mixer that has RCA Line in or RCA Tape In jacks that are stereo and you control the volume from the mixer board and of course your powered speakers usually have their own volume controls on either both speakers or on just one or the speakers if your speakers have one powered speaker that you run a cable/wire to the other speaker in order for them to both work as a stereo pair! Recommended if you're on a budget and looking for a decent little preamp that not only works with a Turntable but also any Streaming device..!! THIS IS NOT A PHONO PREAMP...! This is not built with the RIAA frequency flip Cartridge Preamp... your TT either needs a built in preamp or you have to use a separate Phono Preamp that you could run into this preamp after it goes through the Phono Preamp..! If you have a TT with a phono preamp already built into it, set your TT to Line Out and then run into this little amp, if your TT is Bluetooth then the signal will pass through the built in phono amp in order to use the RIAA EQ to listen to your record correctly!!
