    I bought a Fosi V3 BECAUSE, after checking out it's technical details, determined it IS repairable.  Its one, exotic, specialized component, the 3255 Class D amplifier IC, is readily available on Ebay, for a very reasonable price.  THAT was the clincher!  MUCH of the current electronic gear out there employs specialized ICs that are only sold by the manufacturers to their authorized service centers, or not available at all.  Also, it contains two 5532 op-amps that are actually in SOCKETS, making them easy to replace, either if they become defective, or to try out higher-performance versions, a process known as "op-amp rolling."  ANY competent electronics technician can keep a little amp like that running forever, and from what I've learned, the same seems to be true of many similar devices.  (By Fosi, Ayima, SMSL, & others).
