Looks a bit overpriced to me
I would love to see them measured here on ASR

It is interesting how smsl is releasing these amplifiers like sausages all with what looks the same or very similar module labelled "DAM-1"

It seems to be the same as the PA200 but in a different case....
The PA-X seems to stand out with much higher output power (at 8 ohm, mono especially)

Looking forward to some measurements and reviews on any of the variants. Hard to justify buying one otherwise.
I think the SMSL PA200 version seems to be the best option and can always buy another later

PA200 is $419, A1Pro is $495

i can get direct from factory at $295 for PA200 and currently own 2 of them

How would this compare to the Topping PA7?

I'm torn between the two, I think.

Thank you - based on that information, I am no longer torn. What a shame .

How do you get it direct from factory? Care to share? I’m looking to test pa200 out too
Thank you!
