Gustard X16 vs. SMSL Su 9n vs. Loxjie D40?

[Snoopy]

They are all kinda in the same price range. What would be your pick and why?

Easy to upgrade firmware is a plus for the Loxjie and the Smsl..

Buildquality I quess the Gustard and the Loxjie.

I love the look of loxjie.
And it has everything what I want from dac/amp
All in one construction
Ldac
No external power supply.

But there is no review or test yet so we can't say how does it sound.
I would like to change topping 50s stack for this

From a Design point I really like the Loxjie as well. But I would need balanced headphone amp for it.

I don't care about balanced output.
I can hear a difference only in volume level, and 50s stack on single end has almost to much power for my needs

I would highly recommend you add warranty&support to your list of things to help you decide.
Once you do your homework, it could make the decision much, much easier

Not sure if this is sarcasm or not.
With amazon warranty is not an issue
