Hello, so i have been thinking that it's time to change my audio hardware and i've got dilemma between THX 789 and SMSL SP200 (Especially with SMSL that it doesn't have medium gain, just low and high). For the DAC, I am definitely decided that i'll go with this one (SMSL SU v2),i read a lot reviews about it, even here on forum and i'm hearing that it is very highly recomended. The audio hardware i've got now is just sound card (Sound Blaster Z), which is not bad i think for beginner like me, but i have it about 2-3 years and when i finally bought DT 990 Pro 250Ohm and began to listen Loossles audio and especially high quality audio then i started to look after DACs and AMPs because it will probably or really improve the sound quality and stage of sounds but will it be audible improve by a lot ?
For the THX 789 there is just one problem that i live in Europe (Slovakia) and there aren't any retail shops that sell this Amp, i know about drop website, but i dont want to wait too long for hardware but if this one is better then SMSL SP200 by a lot, i can wait for shipment from Drop.
About SMSL SP200, does it really have channel imbalance where left channel is more louder then right ?
Or is there any better DAC (for example Topping E30 ) or AMP (example JDS Labs Atom) ? I want to just buy and want it to be the end game for me, so that I didn't have to buy another for a long time.
