Hi, first post
Trying to decide between this and Topping D50. Don't know anything about audio, I currently have the Topping D50 and SMSL M300 side by side and listening to both with a JDS Atom amp and a Sennheiser 6xx. Can't really tell a difference except I thought the Topping sounded fuller while the M300 had better background instruments. But that could have just been placebo? I can only keep one and is leaning towards the SMSL cause it is much newer, balanced, the reviews are great on Amazon of the M100 and Sanskrit, and it has an AKM chip which I heard is better? But Audiosciencereview and Amirm doesn't seem to prefer the SMSL products (M100/Sanskrit/M10) while the Topping D50 had better measurements than the SMSL-SU8? But Amirm hasn't reviewed the M300. Also the Topping D50 is $160 right now on eBay while the M300 was $240.
