    SMSL H300 headamp - no reviews?

    I have it for some time, is nice, clean.. a lottt of power, probably more than needed... The only thing I can think of is that it gets a little hot especially if your room temperature is more than 20 degrees

    SMSL H300 headamp - no reviews?

    I am waiting for mine, but yeah no review yet I hope I didn't make a mistake, but smsl is a well-known brand with many amps on the marked I hope (and bet) that it will measure well, (otherwise I wasted my money)... if you find any reviews let me know.. But yeah that tiny volume knob is a bit sad..

    New Topping L70 is just insane.

    hope nobody get this wrong but..S Sabaj a20h also has 4 6120 and also have relays for the volume, not the same power, probably it won't measure as well, no pre amp.. but cost 1/3 of the price, 120 vs 350..

    Topping DM7 8-Channel DAC Review

    as far I understand in order to get 5.1 or 7.1 the source (movie) needs Dolby digital or dts. Does this product support those codecs? what about a subwoofer?
