    Matrix Audio Mini-i Pro 3 Review (Streamer & DAC)

    I had the same set up(SMSL M500 + SP200) as yours. My hps are SendyAiva and HD800s, and I just replaced my SMSL combo with matrix mini i pro3 early this May.

    New SMSL M500

    New SMSL M500

    I'd like to know about it too. I place my order on 3rd Sep, but the status shows it's waiting for the dispatch. Btw, I bought it from a Chinese website, and they sold it for 2200rmb only.
