The SMSL SP200 THX is a wonderful amp and whether you are just getting started or want to upgrade your sound quality this is a great place to land. I love the form factor, feel, and ease of turning it on and switching gain settings / inputs. These connections are on the front! It has so much power and such a wonderfully quiet background. I do find it fatiguing for some reason even with my test tracks so if you find yourself sensitive to treble you may want to give it a listen before you buy it.
For some reason I find really powerful amps like this fatiguing and this one reminds of the the GS-X mk2 from HeadAmp which I also find fatiguing. Something to do with the frequency response and power and how my ear shape amplifies certain frequencies. The Schiit Magni 3 and HeadRoom BUDA for example do not cause fatigue.
I cannot recommend this amp enough!
