Appearance? Knob? Inputs? Outputs? Any differences at all?

No they are identical as far as I can tell.

So same crappy volume knob xD. Is there any channel imbalance?
No, both are dead center.
I ordered two aluminum replacement knobs.

I’m very interested in this amp after reading about it just recently. Has anyone compared it to the Monoprice THX 887 which also came out recently? That one is priced at $400 and looks nearly identical to the Drop THX 789. I do like the more compact size of the SMSL, where the 887 probably wouldn’t fit where I want to put it. I’m a little worried from those who are claiming these may be a touch bright.

Does this mean you found knobs that are nicer than stock, or are you talking about exact replacements? If the former can you link to them or provide more info? Thanks.

Received mine today, along with my Topping D30 DAC ... I gotta say, my 600 ohm DT880 have never sounded like this before !! So out with the Asgard 2 and Modi 2 Uber. Not sure if burn in will improve things at all, but if not I'm plenty happy already. Will be interesting to try the Verum and my others. This is a whole new level !!
