I might have read somewhere the designer of the uDSD worked for nuforce, not 100 % sure.
Got it. I have a soft spot for our patreon donors on requests so even though I have a deep pipeline, I went ahead and ordered it from Amazon. :)

I've meant R28. It would still be interesting to see how good/bad it is compared to NFB-models.

If company sells a $1680 product which measures that poorly I'm not really interested in their other products.

smsl released the su-8, a competitor to the topping d50. The smsl comes with an integrated power supply, balanced out and remote, so it's better in terms of features, but people are wondering if that comes at the expense of performance.

What I find unprofessional about SMSL is that the product is still not shown on their web page nor are they answering any questions by email about their products. Topping and Matrix answered all inquiries next bussines day and showed detailed info about all of their products on their web site.

Can concur on that. Asked their official contact email regarding the output impedance of their SAP-10 headphone amplifier.

Complete silence ...... its been a few weeks and not even a reply, much less an answer.
