With the release of the highly anticipated SMSL SU-9 Balanced MQA DAC and all the buzz it is generating amongst the audio community, we at Apos thought we would collect the various reviews and curate them in a compendium for you, so have an easy reference. We’ve selected snippets of the most pertinent parts of each review, but all of the sources are linked, so if you want to read the full review as it was originally written you can simply click the hyperlink. We will continue to monitor the interwebs for you and update this list as more reviews come out.
The Drop x Cavalli Liquid Carbon X is a solid-state balanced headphone amp that's designed to provide an objective "wire with gain" sound. We’ve compiled reviews from across the web for your reference.
A good DAP is hard to find, especially in the entry-level price range. It's not hard to see why. A DAP wears every hat of the audio system--DAC, amp, storage system, UI, and everything else except for the headphones --and must pull those things off at least as well as your laptop or phone, items which retail for magnitutdes more than most people are willing to pay for any one DAP.
With the release of the FiiO Q5s Type-C DAC/Amp, we thought we'd do another comparison chart for you all comparing it to the predecessor from a couple years ago: the Q5. While there was a micro-USB Q5s available, that is no longer sourced and we have upgraded our stock only to the future-proof Q5s Type-C for you. Please check out the comparison chart below to see how they stack up!
The roster of DAC/Amps available for under $100 is expanding at an insane pace. With storied brands like SMSL and FiiO jumping into the fray, the competition is only heating up.

Rare is the tube amp that can decode PCM 32bit/768kHz and DSD512. Although many audiophiles might want to pair high-end decoding with a more objective solid-state amp, the TA-30 is for those who enjoy a bit of warmth with their music.
