SMSL SP200 at $254 now from HiFiGo by use this coupon: HIFIGO5
Anyone ordered from smsl-topping.com? Itās been 12 days and i havenāt gotten a shipping notice yet. Emailed 3 days ago with no reply
That is a screaming deal for that level of performance
theres lots of scammers out there. its a good idea to search google for them before you order
Iām fairly certain thatās a legit site, but itās probably shipping from china and will take like 2-4 weeks to get here. I would expect a week to two weeks before they actually send confirmation that it was shipped. It took 2 weeks for linsoul to send me conformation that my order was shipped (or was it 2 and a half weeks, IDK anymore)
Typically sites like these are like that though, and do seem somewhat sketch. Also you can connect to a https version of the site
Itās cert is validated by TrustAsia TLS RSA CA and itās valid SSL that should be trusted by most browsers

I think you can canceled that order, buy from hifigo or shenzhenaduio or apos
Yeah I pressed the dispute button. The site was linked from this forum so I assumed it was cool, but two weeks with no notice and no response anywhere is not something I care to deal with.
Hi, need help.
I have HD6xx and may get Argons or some other planers in the future. Wanted to seek opinion if I shall go SP200 or Xduoo xd05+. I wonāt use the headphones for portable use outside home but mobility within the house is also good :), Which I believe I will get with SP200 also due to its small size.
Source will be phone (for music) or Apple TV (for Netflix movies etc) as I donāt use laptop.
Regards
Hmm, well I think the sp200 would be the higher quality amp and would work better with the argons, but it does not include a dac so you would also want to get a dac as well
Thanks MON!
I have been indecisive about buying an amp for a long time. Bought the Drop 789 then cancelled after it was supposed to ship 6 months later. Then was looking at Atom and Spark but could not make up my mind as they will be stuck to a power supply. Then came SP200, which I appreciate is even an upper class of THX implementation at 888. So, I am kind of between these two (XD-05+) and not even comparing with any other battery powered amp (or dac/amp). For comfort, I would probably prefer a high power amp with battery and getting 1W per channel brought me to think about xd -05+. Do you think Argons would be underpowered by it? There is a high current function also in xd-05+ as I saw in the zreviews video. Is that not able to power the Argons correctly with nice headroom OR shall I just got with SP200?
So, the xd05+ is powerful and can power the argonās, but itās not as clean and refined as the sp200 which my yield more fidelity. But there is the added cost of the dac. I think that if you want the best sound quality, the sp200 is for you, and if you want a portable all in one the xd05+ is for you
Yikers, looks like oluvās lost his mind.

Claiming it sounds worse than onboard on his iphone. I personally love this amp.
It seems that he thinks most amps donāt sound better than his iPhone lol

Yes the iphone is definitely a quality source 
I would be curious to see what he thinks of the LG v30ās amp. Would it best the iPhone, a near impossible task?

Also TBH itās almost like his account got hacked with his comments lol
I honestly remember him having a similar set of arguments and comments when some Z fans went to his channel a while back.
Itās just surprising to me that he doesnāt hear the differences, as they are pretty clear lol. Like most people not in audio could tell the difference imo. Itās not like heās comparing the 789 vs the 887 or something actually more minute, itās a frickin quality amp and dac vs an iphone. I would really be amazed if he didnāt hear the difference. He could hear it but claim otherwise for some reason
If not, heās an idiot.
