So how would you say overall this compares to the topping dx7s? Is it better or worse?
My choice: su-8 + massdrop 789 amp
In the furture, I can upgrade any one

For a moment I thought you were messing with us, the smsl sh'ite.Any plans to review the matching amp, the SH-8?
You can ask @SMSL-Mandy, I think it’s v2Price from Amazon Canada CDN$633! I'm better off buying from Shenzen direct. Massdrop hasn't confirmed that it's selling v2.
You have to hand it to the Chinese manufacturers. @amirm finds a problem, and they fix it. They are listening to the customers and reading feedback on the internet.
Doing corrections like this is a total win-win situation for both the customers and the manufacturer.
So v1.1 has nothing fixed? Sorry if I missed something.This is great news. Now if only we could get MD to confirm or deny the current drop is for the v2 (v1.2) :/
OK, I took it apart and here is a quick picture. Higher fidelity ones will come later:

I have circled the revision on the left: September 27th, 2018, version 1.2.
Something we have changed.
In order to prevent my translation errors, I will keep the Chinese that the engineer told here.Thanks.
输出端这三个开关的供电,由原来的5V提高在9V供电而已,其它在无更改。我们再说明一下,他之前测试时是因为他们测试方式都是以0dB频率信号进行测试的,之上一版本机器就后面开关供电的电压幅度不够所以看起来参数会差一点,但上版本的机器以-6dB频率信号进行测试,参数也会是很好的,当时设计人员认为用户正常使用播放歌曲信号,是不会有0dB频率信号那么高的幅值的,而且这个机器是有前级功能。
还有就是一个多余的时钟没用,删了,加了一个备用的保险丝。这些都不会影响参数的。View attachment 18159
The power supply of these three switches at the output is increased by the original 5V to 9V, nothing other have changed.
Because all tested with a 0dB frequency signal. In the previous version of the machine, the voltage of the power supply behind the switch is not enough, so it seems that the parameters will be a little worse. But if tested with a -6dB frequency signal, and the parameters would be very good,too. When we designed SU-8, the designer thought that the normal user would not have the same high amplitude as the 0dB frequency signal, and the machine is pre-AMP.
An extra clock is useless, deleted, and a spare fuse is added.These do not affect the parameters.
I'd still go with tone board over the SU-8. If you use the balanced out, you can't use the third gain stage. If you want the third gain stage, the tone board and the su-8 are similar in performance, but the tone board is much cheaper.My choice: su-8 + massdrop 789 amp
