Budget cost but not budget sound quality.
The Fosi X5 was bought to provide a 2nd moving coil phono input for the 2 turntables I use.I already own an Ifi Zen phono preamp and I am happy with its performance.I decided to buy the Fosi x5 phono preamp after hearing, reading and seeing ( on YouTube ) good reviews about it.The Ifi Zen is a good value for money phono stage being very quiet, with a transparent sound quality demonstrating a clean treble, detailed midrange and good bass depth and articulation. Also it's sufficiently versatile to cope with the Ortofon and Audio Technica cartridges that I use.These qualities are matched by the Fosi, plus the Fosi's bass response sounds slightly more powerful and defined and its overall sound has slightly more weight and fullness.Despite its low cost, it sounds far better than its budget pricing would suggest which makes it an excellent value for money phono preamp. Highly recommendedAdditional information:-Its external 16 volt power supply does become hot even when the X5 isn't being used. Therefore make sure it placed in/on a well ventilated cabinet/shelf.

Great little DAC.
Brilliant value for money. Great sound quality for the price. The ability to change the output stage OP Amps is a nice touch. Definitely benefits from swapping factory OP Amp with discrete. Also changing the plug-top PSU improves SQ.

Great preamp
For its size and cost it pumps out some great sound and volune. Don’t let its look underestimate you it does what some bigger preamps cant

A great upgrade from most integrated amp phono stages. A bargain.
An excellent phono amp. Excellent bass and great imaging way better in the class that it's price indicates. Highly recommend this, a stonking bargain.

Avoid
I would suggest not to buy unless improved. Ridiculously noisy buzzing power supply, loose component in the box itself, mediocre sound quality easily bettered. Very disappointed.

Good MC/MM pre-amplifier
Easy to use MC/MM phono cartridge pre-amplifier, used as front end for Wiim pro plus streamer. Good sound quality.

Good preamp, rubbish PSU.
Sound quality is really good, but the Power Supply Unit (PSU) is noisy and gets hot even when the preamp is turned off, and is positioned half way along the power lead making positioning more difficult.
