New toys TA2020

[zlab]

New toys just brought from china, measure 74mm X 54mm X 23mm, sound good upon recieved, price is dirt cheap... about USD 5.2, cheaper than a lunch right?

(transport excluded), sound much better than lepai 2020 pre-mod.

How are you shielding the air cores?

[zlab]

Coated the air core inducator with epoxy, then cover all with copper foil and make a 3rd lead for grounding connection, final protect with a heat retract plastic layer.

Taobao has loads of good stuff, but many of them don't ship overseas nor accept paypal/non-China credit card.

Looks very similar to the DIY Paradise Charlize board at first glance.

I have the Charlize and it sounds very good.

It is a real 2020 chip on the Chinese amp? Printing on it looks kinda sketchy.

Best,

With that price tag and some difficulties to get it i suggest a GB would be nice since you have the access to do so....
