I had iFi Zen, Topping E30 and SMSL SP200/M200 stack for comparison and ended up keeping the stack. I also kept the Topping E30 and it acts as USB DAC connected to my raspberrryPi that I use as a Roon bridge. I much prefer it to the ESS Sabre SE9010K2M DAC I have in my Cambridge CXA61 integrated...

After a weekend comparing iFi Zen amp/dac, SMSL SP200 with SMSL M200 and Topping E30 using DT1990 and Sundara headphones, I have decided to keep SMSL SP200/M200 stack. Mainly for power, variety of input/outputs and it fits nicely under my laptop stand ;) I know iFi Zen measures worse than M200...

Aoshida-HIFI Audio Store has confirmed their stock of E30 has serial number starting from 2004 which has polarity issue fixed. Just ordered one.

Hi, Ignoring the fact that m200 has no MQA and smsl sp200 + m200 would 50 GBP more. Is the sp200+m200 combo much better (especially amp section) that the one integrated in m500 amp/dac combo? I'm looking to pair it with DT1990 headphones. Thanks

I'm looking at getting M500 to pair with my DT1990. Glad it worked well.

@SMSL-Mandy will su-9 support MQA?
