Overview

Hooking a PC, phone or CD player to passive speakers takes one box with the JadeAudio, which pairs a Texas Instruments amplifier with Bluetooth LDAC, USB and coaxial inputs. A subwoofer output and tone knobs complete a small system with bass support.

High power in a notebook size chassis can drive large speakers without crowding the desk. A turntable will need a separate phono preamp, since none is listed.

Who it's for

PC audio fans, small living rooms and anyone adding a subwoofer get power, inputs and a sub out in a small box. Record collectors should budget for a phono preamp.

Pros
  • High output from a small box

Performance notes

Power and control come from the Texas Instruments Class D chip, which runs efficiently and cool while delivering clean output to demanding speakers. The quality capacitors and thick copper PCB help hold noise down at low volumes.
