Recommendations for class D amp for desktop use

[samcramer]

[I hope this the right forum for this question.]

My current desktop set-up is a FX-Audio DAC X6 connected to a Lepai LP-2020A+, which drives a pair of Minimus 7 speakers. I'm looking for a recommendation for a cheap (max $60, preferably less) replacement for the Lepai amp. I know which end of soldering iron to hold, so a kit is a possibility if it's not terribly hard to build and bring up.

I have searched here and elsewhere and have seen a number of suggestions:

• Breeze Audio 3116 unit (I think this is also sold under the "NobSound" label)
• SMSL 36A
• SANWU® HF183 TPA3116 (board with remote control)
• DAMGOO Bluetooth 5.0 Amplifier Board,100w (board with top & bottom plate)
• Volt Plus or Volt
• a few Weilang TPA3116 amps available on AliExpress

Would any of these fit the bill? Is there something else I should consider?

Thanks!

I'd upgrade the speakers first, having had them before, maybe a good used pair found locally.

Thanks for the advice. I'm looking for small desktop speakers: do you have any recommendations? I believe I'd get a lot better sound out of something like the Pioneer SP-BS22-LRs, but I'd like something with a small footprint if possible.
