Wouldn't touch these cheap Chinese units with a bargepole. No end of problems and shoddy operation

I've followed there developement from day 1 pretty much.  They all have the same things in common no matter which factory they came from:-

something wont work
the supplier wont provide any support
the all buzz on low volume (crap amplifiers)
a newer version will come along a few months later that correct some problems but creates more

6050 is one, 7608 is another etc etc

audiosources are possible the most legit to deal with if you really feel the need
