I just got this and have it paired up with the S.M.S.L M200 - DAC mode, balanced in, low gain, listening with a Focal Clear via the balanced out, using the volume pot on the amp. Superb in every way. I know we're all objective here, but I've been comparing this with the S.M.S.L SP200 using the same DAC, and I feel the Monoprice has a wider and deeper soundstage. A bit more three dimensional. Maybe it's that bottomless pit of power? Maybe confirmation bias? This certainly is a clean, transparent, and powerful amp. The SP200 sounds a bit more like I have two speakers strapped to my head, which of course I do. I'm leaning towards keeping the Monoprice even though I prefer the size, stackability, aesthetics, and PRICE of the SP200.
Decisions, decisions.
