Topping A70 pro vs SMSL H400

[JediMa70]

I love my Topping A70 but quality issues with faulty units can be a concern. My Topping is dead now and I will be refunded by amazon, should I got again for Topping (hoping in better luck) or try SMSL H400?

Depending on how far you are willing/able to stretch your budget, maybe an Aune S17 pro variant (currently two models)?

My budget can be stretched at most to 550 which is the price here in italy of the SMSL, vs 499 of A70 pro

Might be worth checking out this thread to help decide between them.

I have both of them and never had a problem with either. I've had four A70Pros for the business and zero problems. If you have specific questions on the difference let me know.

I really don't have any complaint about A70, I like everything about it but I also never had any faulty amp before. This is my only concern. Beside this I would like to know from you please, if SMSL is overall better or I will just replace the faulty A70 with another one. Thank you
