Our verdict

A digital amplifier for someone who wants a tube pre-amp stage in front of a TI TPA3116 chip and plans to drive passive bookshelf speakers, which is how the page frames it, at $118.99. Look elsewhere if you need a listed DAC chip, input list or output list, since the listing text gives none. The main caveat is the pair of power figures, 50W per channel with no load and 30W per channel at 4 ohm, and that the sound descriptions are the maker's claims.

Built around a TI TPA3116 amplifier chip with a 12AU7 tube in the pre-amp stage, the MT-605 is a digital amplifier that the page points at passive stereo speakers and bookshelf models. The page gives its maximum output power as 50W per channel and an output rating of up to 30W per channel at 4 ohm of load. It is listed at $118.99 with three options named US, UK and EU, and the page shows $139.99 crossed out beside the price.

Options and pricing

There are three options, shown as US, UK and EU under the name Specification, and the page prices all three at $118.99. The page does not say what each one changes, so check the option names before ordering. It shows $139.99 crossed out beside the price, which is the store's own comparison and not something we checked. The listing text gives no weight, input list or output list for the unit.

How it compares

The xDuoo MH-02 costs $126.65 and its listing mentions a CS43131 chip, while the TOPPING DX1 II is $119 and mentions ES9039Q2M. The SMSL DAC MINI is listed at $117.03 and also mentions ES9039Q2M. The MT-605 is $118.99 and its listing text names no DAC chip, only the TPA3116 amplifier chip and a 12AU7 tube.

Shipping

  • Methods and costs. The store's shipping page offers Standard Shipping (4PX, Yanwen or Yun Express), free for most countries, and Express Shipping (DHL Express, FedEx or SF Express) at 15-50 USD depending on the country, free for orders over 270 USD in most countries (checked 2026-11-11).
  • Large items. The page says headphones and desktop DAC/AMPs count as large items, for which Express is free only for orders over $499.99.
  • Delivery times. It says an in-stock order ships within 3 working days, Standard takes about 2 weeks after shipping out (up to 1-3 months for some countries, and the store makes no refund for that transit time) and Express takes about 3-7 days. Festive seasons and other circumstances can change the timing.
  • Taxes and fees. The buyer pays any customs, import or processing fees. The page says Standard via YunExpress is tax-inclusive for some countries, that remote areas can carry extra Express charges, and that a parcel refused or left uncollected over taxes is deducted two-way freight and may be destroyed with no refund.
  • Where it ships. The page says the store can generally ship to most countries by Express and many by Standard, and to confirm Standard with the team for your country. It cannot ship to PO boxes or APO/FPO addresses and can only use Express to Hawaii. It does not name the US, Canada, the UK, Australia or New Zealand, so confirm before you pay.
  • Lost parcels. If a parcel has been in transit for at least 3 months, the page offers a one-time reshipment or a full refund for orders under $50 and a 50% refund for orders above $50.

Returns and warranty

  • Returns. The return page allows returning any non-customized product that is still factory sealed within 30 days of receiving it, with the buyer paying the shipping. Email [email protected] within that period; the store asks for the return to be shipped within 5 working days of the RMA instructions and in most cases processes a refund within 5 business days of inspecting it (checked 2026-11-11).
  • Opened items. A product opened within the first 7 days after delivery can be returned for the price minus a restocking fee of 35% of its retail value, including when it still works properly.
  • Refund or credit. The buyer can choose a refund to the original payment method (PayPal or card) or store credit; with no answer within 48 hours of confirmation the default is store credit, which can also be prioritized during promotions, final-sale events and for items 40% or more off retail.
  • Not returnable. Customized products, including faceplate designs, are non-refundable, and the page says the same applies to carry cases, cables, ear tips and other accessories, "due to hygiene purposes". If one item in a package is defective, incorrect or missing, the refund or replacement covers only that item.
  • Warranty. The page gives a 1-year warranty on products, excluding carry cases, ear tips and other accessories, and 3 months on cables and adapters, from the date of purchase. It covers factory defects that affect proper function, not damage from human error, negligence, accidents, dismantling, water, abuse or modification (checked 2026-11-11).
  • Not covered or limited. It does not apply to items bought elsewhere (AliExpress, Amazon, local dealers and the like), prize or giveaway items, normal wear or colour change, commercial use, or items that were stolen or went missing. Coverage is limited for products 40% or more off retail, for review units and for items repaired or modified by anyone Linsoul has not authorized.
  • Claims. Email [email protected] with the order number, the issue and photos and videos of the fault. The store may ask for the unit back for a replacement. It covers shipping for some defects reported within 7 days of delivery if the fault can be shown on video or photo; after 7 days the buyer ships it back. For wrong or missing items an unboxing video of the whole sealed parcel is required.

Before you buy

Linsoul says it was founded in 2016 by the Crazy HiFi team to bring Chinese HiFi makers closer to listeners worldwide, and that it now sells other makers' products alongside four brands of its own, THIEAUDIO, Kiwi Ears, ZiiGaat and Tripowin (checked 2026-11-11).

We have not read any independent review of this product or of the store. Ratings and owner reviews shown on the store's own pages are the store's and were not verified.

What we liked

  • The page gives output power both as a maximum (50W per channel) and with a load (30W per channel at 4 ohm)
  • The page names the amplifier chip (TI TPA3116) and the tube type (12AU7)
  • All three options, US, UK and EU, cost the same $118.99
  • The main filter capacitors are named as Japanese Rubicon and Nichicon parts
  • An aluminum alloy shell with a sand blast textured panel is listed

Worth noting

  • The 50W per channel figure comes with no load, so it cannot be compared directly with the 30W figure at 4 ohm
  • The listing text gives no input list, output list, weight or dimensions
  • The page does not say what the US, UK and EU options change
  • The sound descriptions are the maker's own wording and cannot be checked from the listing

Questions before you buy

What are the three options?

Can I return it if I change my mind?

The return page allows returning a non-customized product that is still factory sealed within 30 days of receiving it, with the buyer paying shipping. An opened product returned within 7 days carries a 35% restocking fee. Refunds go to the original payment method or to store credit, which is the default if you do not choose.

What warranty does it have?

What we couldn’t verify

  • The page's sound descriptions (sweet tone, delicate texture, smooth and warm sound) are the maker's claims and were not checked here.
  • Per the page, 50W per channel is a maximum with no load named and 30W per channel is given at 4 ohm, so the two were not reconciled here.
  • The listing text gives no input list, output list, weight or dimensions, and the page says nothing about what US, UK and EU change.
  • We have not read an independent review of this product or the store, and the store's own ratings were not verified. We read the store's catalog description only: a specification table or image shown just on the live page was not read.
  • The shipping page names no US, Canada, UK, Australia or New Zealand times or fees: its figures are general and we could not confirm them for these countries.
