What is the black component on top of the S.M.S.L. amp? Some kind of preamp? Never saw anything like that before...Ampapa A1, featuring the Two-DAC-Stack!!!
Using the DAC Box E for MP3 320's, and other harsher or relatively less well-produced FLAC, since due to its low output whatever it's hooked up to has to supply the gain/volume... and in this case there are tubes to do just a little smoooooothing...this is actually the first time my MP3's have had the honour of a desktop rig outing.

Very interesting. Literally nothing about this little unit is as I would expect...
This: https://www.head-fi.org/threads/ampapa-a1-tube-phono-headphone-amp.964564/
With the A1 and the BA3, I can finally stop mucking around with tube buffers.
The Ampapa A1 seems to be the culmination and climax of all the cheap chinese tube buffers. Someone out there must have thought: "Alright, let's take that idea and do it properly. A nice enclosure, fully functioned, and what's the NOS tube that people most commonly replace the stock tubes with in these things.... a GE 6AK5w? Put those in there as stock then." Anyway, it sounds good.
There are at least 5 or 6 reviews on youtube.

For me yes, I can't afford pretty DACs
Howling Wolf would say (
):Some DACs built like this, some DACs built like that,
But the way I’m built, a-don’t you call me fat,
Because I’m built for comfort, I ain’t built for speed,
But I got everything a good DAC needs…
