Topping E30, L30, DX3 Pro+, and recently an SMSL RAW-MDA1.

I'm simply amazed at the performance of these type of products for the $$ these days!!

And I just ordered a pair of the Hedd Type 07 A-Core monitors, partially based Amir's review of the smaller 05 model.

Oh, and possibly an SMSL PL200T in the near future, as well as a pair of Hedd Type 07 A-Core monitors based partially on the review of the 05 (probably tonight). :)

My wallet doesn’t need to be reminded how many things I bought because of ASR.
 
As posted elsewhere here, I just purchased a Marantz AV 20 Pre/Pro to head up my music system.
Picture is web sourced, I'll update my system thread soon.
I don't know what I'll ever do with all those channels but there's always the lotto :p

Reviews wise, Topping E30/L30 combo around 5 years ago, still using them, another Topping E30 and recently an SMSL C200 Pro which I am very impressed with.
Oh, and my AKG K371 headphones.
 
I recently bought a WIIM Amp. The ASR review was not glowing, but my power needs are low, and the most important feature is the good DSP and room correction. The room fix has gotten better recently.
 
Update:

Topping E30, L30, DX3 Pro+ (twice), SMSL RAW-MDA1 (had to return due to defect).

And the two most recent and favorite by far, a Topping D70 Pro Sabre & SMSL PL200T. These two pieces have greatly added to my enjoyment of music.

Much Thanks to @amirm, this forum and it's reviewers, and a special shout out to @NTTY because I really enjoy his CD player/transport reviews! :)

Merry Christmas!

On a side note, I have also purchased two items despite their reviews here. One I regret and one I don't.

I bought a Yamaha R-XV6A based on my lifetime 100% positive experiences with Yamaha integrated amps and HT receivers. I regretted it almost immediately and foolishly didn't return it before Best Buy's return policy expired. Last I knew it was 30 days and it is now 14 days, but that's on me for not noticing and being somewhat of a procrastinator. Now I can't sell it for a $200 less than the sale price I paid so it sits in the closet boxed up.

The other item is a Schiit Lokius fancy tone control thingy. My system is not PC based and never will be, and I needed to add some boost in the upper-mids to treble regions due to age related hearing loss. It works perfectly for that purpose for me.
 
One year ago, two three channels Buckeye Purifi 1ET400A for my 3 way DIY active speakers.
Love them: small, cold, quiet, clean and powerful.
Thanks ASR and thanks Dylan !
Only way they could be better is if they were FREE. :p

Your cat looks like it's plotting your murder! :p Albeit now that I look at it closer it's not quite looking straight at you so just plotting the murder instead of someone else in it's recent memory!
