Neither. It is an amplifier without dac and is not usb powered.

Ooops lol. Geeesh meant the benchmark dac. My bad lol. There's my first error for the day.

I believe it to be a b bus to end the story.

I'm glad I don't have to deal with the volume nob anymore because I have it set to where I use the volume on my Topping D50s. I can adjust it a half a dB at a time which is so much better than having to mess with that crappy one on the amp. I bet they end up changing it in the future on an updated version.

I just bought a second sp200 I'm so impressed.

Same here - I use my Teac UD-301 to adjust the volume.

Don't you want your source and DAC volume to be at its max and adjust on the amp end?

Edit: I run full optical, so the answer to this question may vary.

Thanks chillihead,
Have ordered knob.
Looking forward to sp200 to arrive.

Has anyone used sp200 with zmf headphones?
In particular the Aeolus

I am using the XLR output from my dac, which puts out 4 Vrms - lots of signal to play with. If I run it at max, the amp would go no higher than 8:30 on the volume control due to the sensitivity of my Elear hp and the power of this amp.

helo users, is it true that there is no differences found between BAL & SE headphone output in terms of power and sound?

Me me xD. What else do you want to know? It's enough power and without distortion

Power, no difference. Small improvement in 'crosstalk' via XLR output

 

[Pete Gardner]

Thanks Tim0chan,
I was checking that they are a good match with sp200.
I currently have Audeze XCs and have been considering selling and getting Aeolus.

Had to upgrade the volume knob to something more beefy. Knurled heavy aluminum!

That adds more weight, more solidity to the knob, no?
