Nobsound - any good?
Thinking of buying one of these (or something similar) for a friend who recently suffered a stroke. Just wants something inexpensive and simple to put between his Echo Dot and some small speakers (don't know what make they are, but they won't be anything exotic).
Anyone have any experience of these or similar amps? I'll be paying for this myself so it needs to be something cheapy-cheap cheap.

Nobsound is generally one of the better Chinese brands, I have had good dealings with units.
I love Hendrix for so many reasons. He was so much more than just a blues guitarist - he played damn well any kind of guitar he wanted. In fact I'm not sure if he even played the guitar - he played music. - Stevie Ray Vaughan

Probably OK, I'd definitely consider one myself if I was looking for that sort of thing. Just check that any supplied PSU is properly UK compatible.
It is impossible for anything digital to sound analogue, because it isn't analogue!

Pretty decent so long as you use a good power supply. An old 19v laptop power supply would be a good match.
My cousin has fitted one underneath the dashboard of a vintage Lotus and is very happy with it.

From memory, the Echo Dot tone controls are inoperative on the 3.5 mm jack output, but this may not be important.
This looks good value as it includes a 19V power supply (quality?) screw terminals instead of usual 4mm speaker binding posts.
The TPA 3116 is a good chip.

Thanks guys, that all sounds quite positive. I have an Amptastic Mini- one, which has been permanently switched on 24/7 for the last 4 years without issues. Just can't stretch to that kind of spend.
But this Nobsound also has Blue Tooth, which I assume means he can play stuff off his mobile wirelessly. That could be handy. I don't know how these manufacturers can do it for beer money.

Oh my god! There's nothing wrong with the bidet is there?
“Nothing discloses real character like the use of power. It is easy for the weak to be gentle. Most people can bear adversity. But if you wish to know what a man really is, give him power. This is the supreme test. It is the glory of Lincoln that, having almost absolute power, he never abused it, except on the side of mercy".
“You see these dictators on their pedestals, surrounded by the bayonets of their soldiers and the truncheons of their police ... yet in their hearts there is unspoken fear. They are afraid of words and thoughts: words spoken abroad, thoughts stirring at home -- all the more powerful because forbidden -- terrify them. A little mouse of thought appears in the room, and even the mightiest potentates are thrown into panic.”
"You don't have free will. You have the appearance of free will.”
“There's a war out there, old friend. A world war. And it's not about who's got the most bullets. It's about who controls the information. What we see and hear, how we work, what we think... it's all about the information!”
