Dayton Audio HTA100BT integrated

Molingus, I noticed that as well using the aux 1 input. Haven't tried the rest of the inputs, though.  But for the price of the unit and for my purposes,  it does one hell of a job. Admittedly, not hearing that first half a second can get annoying. (I use this amp only when I listen outdoors.)

molingus - I have the exact same problem with the Dayton Amp with the tube pre-amp. I edit audio on my PC and need to hear the first second of everything, so I can’t use it with the PC. It is good to know that the optical doesn’t have this issue. I will try that.

Otherwise, for everyone else, it looks cool sitting on the desk but I hate the fan. It’s too noisy. With the noise gate (presumably) on the Aux input and fan noise, I’m glad I only paid $100 for it as an open box unit. It’s about to be listed on ebay... or maybe the garage stereo amp.

For the price, and with reasonable expectations, you get a fun little amp. No complaints here.

Still loving mine. Still amazes me for the price.  I see that Pyle now offers something similar, but with much better looks.
