I’m new to audio rabbit hole but I think I got a good gasp on amps … I was just wondering which one should I get … Smsl sp200 or ARCHEL2 … I was going to get the liquid spark but I might cancel my order and just get one of this two . I also got a gsx 1000 order to use as a Dac … Soo which one sure I choose … or should I just stay with the liquid spark I already got order and climb back out of the rabbit hole … thanks
Firstly, welcome to the community.
I just need to ask a few questions to determine a good pairing for you.
What sound signature do you like?
What headphones would you pair the amp with?
What’s your budget?

I wants a clean setup with really good sound the headphones I got order is the hd58x but it is not limited to that like I said in the post I’m new to the rabbit hole … I’m getting away from my gaming headset … I don’t really have a budget
I mean if you already have a liquid spark on the way lol, perhaps just use that. I do think the archel 2 and 2.5 pro are better pairings with the 58x, but by no means will the liquid spark be bad with the 58x. I would say perhaps instead of getting another amp go for another pair of headphones lol. Also I personally wouldn’t recommend thx amplifiers from my experience
I got the liquid spark order from Amazon but it hasn’t ship yet. Also it’s the same price as the ARCHEL2 pro here in Canada . So u don’t think I should cancel and get the ARCHEL2 pro . What would be a good set of headphones I could get … I will be using them for gaming and watching movies
I think something that would be different and also good from the 58x is the dt880 600 ohm or the he4xx/he400i. They are both brighter with the 4xx having like a bit of a w shaped sound, and the 880 600 ohm being neutral bright. Both are pretty wide and spatious in soundstage and revealing, and game pretty well.
So just keep the liquid spark and later upgrade my headphones … I got have the hd58x HD yet … I ordered them from drop but they hadn’t shipp yet
This is personally what I would do, the liquid spark is a really solid amp, and I think it would be more worthwhile to get a different pair of headphones to try
Awesome man thanks for your input …
You might want to try the T50rp or the Meze neo or nior
