Douk Audio X1 Valve Amplifier, HiFi Stereo Bluetooth 5.0 Amplifier with GE5654 Tube, MM Phono Preamplifier for Turntables, 320W APTX-LL

Great amplifier bought it for my daughter, great sound to it. Valves can be a bit fiddly to put in but once you get the hang of it it does get easier. Really nice to look at aesthetically. Paired with some nice speakers and you will be surprised at sound. Practical for space saving. For the price you can't go wrong unless you want to buy something double the price.

Great little amp producing plenty of power and good tone .Only one problem can only use one out port at a time so can only play either my turntable or cd player separately asthe second out port gives a terrible white noise. So I have to remove my turntable to be able to plug my cd player into the single port . really a problem just a little annoying. But all in all a good bit of kit .

My old audiophile phono amp finally died & I could not afford a like for like replacement. I had been looking online & saw the Douk Audio range of valve amps. I settled on their updated Phono amp, not expecting too much because of the price, man was I wrong! The quality this little budget amp delivers is staggering, better than my old one, crisp tops, a substantial mid range & sonorous base, & a definite warmth of tone through the valves. I can run my Mac pro via the rca inputs for CDs & video sound. It also has a subwoofer output port (not that it needs one) & a bluetooth input to play music from your phone. All in all, a terrific, powerful little budget amp. Solved my problem!

I already own the DOUK Audio Pre-amp version of this item and it is a superb piece of kit. With a wish to cut down on kit and the connecting spaghetti, I decided to upgrade from the separate amp and pre-amp setup to this item which seemed to tick all the boxes of a single unit along with an increased output wattage. Unfortunately, upon receipt, after setup the valves seemed to be permanently bypassed - clicking between the Tube Pass/Bypass options made zero difference in sound quality and Tone On/Off was the same, plus one of the two valves were significantly cooler than the other after running for a while. Therefore, I am returning the item. The Amazon returns process, as always, was simplicity itself! I have already ordered an exact replacement unit as I am hoping this was a one-off and my delight with the pre-amp version makes me want to persevere and I just hope that this was a 'Friday afternoon' unit from the manufacturing process and the new one, that should be delivered tomorrow, will work perfectly. I will update this review following receipt of the replacement unit.

This is my second review. After I'd had the amp for 7 months the Bluetooth stopped working. It still works phono, but will not work Bluetooth. Have messaged product support twice and not heard a thing from them. Product support was zero.Great amp whilst it works. Just didn't work properly for long. Having to look elsewhere now for Bluetooth music.

I bought a Pioneer turntable to play my vinyls on, but needed an amplifier to get some sound out the thing. I'm no expert in this field, + i've never even heard of the brand name - Douk Audio, but i'm really glad l have, because, (for me), the sound quality l get through my Usher S -520 speakers is nothing short of exceptional. The Bass + clarity is awesome, + l can hear every note of every instrument played, also every word sung is crystal clear. As for the price, it's a bargain when comparing with other amplifier prices. So if your looking or even thinking about getting yourself an amplifier, then look no further, this is the one for you, + you won't be disappointed.+ it's also Bluetooth enabled.

I was looking for a budget solution to get that old school warm HiFi quality sound from Hi-Res sources like Apple Music and Qobuz over Bluetooth. The Douk X1 is perfect for this.My iPhone and iPad connected easily, and the sound is superb, providing excellent detail, separation and clear deep bass out of my TL hifi speakers. The sound stage and especially the warmth of midrange vocals makes this system a joy to listen to all day long.I haven’t tried the Phono input yet, but the optical input also sounds great, bringing the same audio quality to my TV viewing.My only minor gripe is the lack of a remote to control the volume and input switching between Bluetooth and Optical from my TV.

This little valve amp is does represent serious value for money. That is a fact. The valves do actually do something as i have tested the voltage in and out.The sound quality is OK, but lets be honest, if you really value your sound quality and consider yourself slightly clued up you are going to know this little amp isn't going to wow you.If you are someone who wants a happy little amp to power some bookshelf speakers and isn't going to be paying attention to the layout of your room ( most important factor in home hifi ) then this little powerhouse is going to make you very happy especially at this price point, infact i have listened to more expensive amps that sound alot worse than this amp. I purchased one of these for my daughter and paired it with some Elac debut 2.0 b.6.2 bookshelf speakers and she is over the moon with a sub £ 400 hifi.
