No issue for me, this is compared to other amps with similar power output like Asgard 3, magni 3, liquid spark. Tbh I usually take his "reviews" with a huge grain of salt as I believe that anyone delusional enough to trust "sound demos" off YouTube may need some corroborating be fore I trust them.
Mine is fine, too. And it makes such a beautiful pairing with the Quad ERA-1, it's like a electron microscope which nevertheless doesn't neglect musicality. The Focal Clears don't pair as well for some reason, they seem to lose a bit of their soundstage, facileness and balance compared to the pairing with the rHead.
I would think a channel imbalance at a range that large is more likely due to something else besides the amp, particularly if it is experienced on two of the same units. It took a good amp to show me I had a problem with my ears instead with the equipment.
i tried with the topping D70 , smooth sound , i feels that the music forcing me to calm down , even with a trance/breakbeat music lol ( tried with XLRs @low gain )
drive my he400i/660s/ananda and good old hd800 with no problem at all ( the hd800 @High Gain )
and yeah FOR ME , this is a good chi-fi amps with THX , period
Hi
I have just received the sp200 I don't have a dedicated desktop amp but I have a fiio m11 dap. Any benefit to getting a DAC or will I hear no difference if I just use m11?
I'll be mostly using with full sized headohones.

I use my M11 with the SP200 but I have the D50s Dac in the middle. A good Dac will sound quite a bit better than just using the M11 as your source. There are quite a few good Dacs in the $100 to $300 price range and if you have more to spend then go for it.
I've used the Schiit Modi, Bifrost, Aune X1S, Topping D70, and Geshelli Enog 2 Pro. Admittedly I've only used the Bifrost, Enog, and D70 with the SP200. I haven't found any benefit to running any DAC balanced to any amp versus single ended, and I use the D70 primarily for tube amps/Enog for powered speakers. The D50s stays with the SP200.
