so i think i've decided on the SMSL DL200 for my DAC/AMP . but i need something to power my 2.1 desktop setup in our bedroom . i have a powered velodyne CT120 sub that still works perfectly and a pair of JBL arena 120 speakers on my computer desk . i'm certainly not a uber hifi'er with golden ears and probably not even a modest audiophile compared to most here ... but i do want quality equipment . my 20 year old plus pioneer 5.1 receiver has no output on it's right speaker output . i only run it in a 2.1 setup . i've switched speakers and rca jacks and the right and left and the right side speaker output is dead so i've only been using it with the headphone output for several months now and it's time to move on from it .

anyhow ... the plan is to go usb from the computer to the usb c in the DL 200 as well as optical from the Hisense H9G 65 in the bedroom where the computer is and use the DL200 for headphones (tygr 300r) and then use the rca outs from the DL200 to the RSL iA255.1 and them use that to power the speakers and line level inputs on the velodyne sub . i'm not interested in surround sound in the bedroom and i have some older JBL tower speakers for the TV that i plan on using with the RLS by swapping the banana plugs between the 120/towers with the RSL when we want to listen to them while watching tv/movies in bed . i

anyhow should the RSL iA255.1 and DL200 be a decent quality pairing for me ? and should they last ? the RSL iA255.1 has a 2 year warranty and i plan on getting amazons 3 year warranty with the DL200 ..... just in case . what are y'alls thoughts ?
thanks , jeff

I have the DL200 and performance is excellent if it's got the connections you need. To max out the warranty, buy from Amazon with a credit card that doubles factory 1 yr warranty. Also they have an Asurion warranty for 17 bucks a month you only need to get if something goes wrong. It covers all electronic purchases on Amazon from the previous 2 years. You can do one month and file a claim, no need to sign up if you don't need it.
They do prepaid shipping, which is huge for things like heavy speakers too. The deductible is just stuff over $500 which is $99.
