Nothing is crying out to be blind tested against any Topping/SMSL gear haha.
Past that $1k mark with those brands, you aren’t buying for measurements. You’re buying gear for synergy and personal sonic preferences. So so many amps measure worse but sound much better. I guess they measure very high for personal enjoyment.
The DAC looks interesting. The breif impressions of the Amp don’t seem super positive. Be keen to hear Torqs thoughts
