UKI

While not a boombox, a micro - hi-fi system is a good option. Look at the Denon M41, other options are available from Marantz, Technics, Philips and Ruark audio. Another completely different option would be to buy a budget CD player (Say SMSL PL 150 or Moondrop Disc Dream2 ) and plug it into a quali

Thanks, that helps a lot. From BH Photo Video, I would recommend either of these two if you're allowed to pick them: Edifier M60 Kanto UKI

Kanto Uki for sure

For what it's worth, I have the Kanto Uki speakers connected via USB and they do not work properly.

Just got the Kanto Uki and sub8. I can confirm they work over usb-c on cachyos. I did have to fiddle around with config files and a few other settings, as the volume would cut out under 50% system volume. Once I did that fix, everything works perfectly. Speakers have a nice amplification range now.

Awesome specs, congrats on the built! Mine is so similar my case is montech 95 king pro but I was between h9 flow and montech, and my PSU is different others are the same. I also thought some would be overkill but we are planning on using this setup for years right, we might as well feel the upgrade

Jeg er glad for mine Kanto Uki https://www.kantoaudio.com/powered-speakers/uki/
