SMSL C200 DAC/Headphone Amp

[nsfgp]

Full Moon today?? Out of the blue found this thing already for sale as I type on Amazon. Seriously it checks all marks IMHO including price.
If it measures/performs up to our usually expected standard and the headphone amp is good ; this would be the Dac/Amp AIO to get. Better value than DX3Pro+ with Balanced connections.

SMSL C200 Amazon

@peterwen @SMSL-Mandy : You guys are slacking off!! Some promo could have been done weeks ago ... didn't you see how many posts ask for DAC/Amp recommendation?? You could have build up the hype at least and gave a heads up. You don't have to let Topping gets all the headline news here.
Please sent one to Amir ASAP!!

[EDIT: Delivery date on Amazon listing now is Sept 27, 2022 FYI.]
Strange you didn't see price ... I can put it into my shopping cart too.
But there is nothing else you can find on this unit. No listing/promo/manual on SMSL site, etc.
Wish Mandy/Peter can provide a little more info on this thing here.

What I see...

Well, this sure seems interesting. Doesn't have double DACs, so is it actually balanced at all?
Otherwise it seems to like DO100 plus headphone amp

I think the C200 is probably an SMSL product designed and sold by Aoshida HiFi.

Therefore, there is no posting on the SMSL HP for a while. It is also not handled by Shenzhen Audio or HiFI Express.

Supposedly $219. Keepa has Amazon listing it at that price since last Saturday until this afternoon when the pricing was pulled.

Thank you Amir!! I had faith with this thing and it delivers.
Mandy/Peter: If only there was a heads up earlier this DAC is coming I would not have purchased my DX3Pro+ recently. This C200 is the AIO DAC/Amp to get for this price point.
