Hmm, interesting, those 3116 chip amps.
I've just ordered a Breeze Audio one. £17.22 . Be interesting to compare it to an Amptastic Mini-T.

Yes, it is a remarkable little amp Tony. I'm using mine all the time and all my bigger 'fancier' amps are sidelined at the moment.
I'm sure you could locate an RCA/phono switching box to provide more inputs.
If anybody else is interested, here's the Breeze Audio branded one: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Silver-HI...EKJ:rk:33:pf:0
And here is the power supply I use: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/96W-Unive...53.m1438.l2649 This may need a UK kettle lead. I use mine on the minimum 12v setting.

Going by the bench test for the amp 19v is a little higher than I'd want to use, in any case the one I bought seems just fine with it when set at 12v.
I have got a beefier 12v power supply somewhere that I may try with it.

It's just as well to check the power supply capacitors on the TPA3116 board for voltage rating. Some boards used capacitors that were not really rated high enough.

It's the modest heat dissipation of the small heatsink in the amp that could be an issue with higher voltages.
