Well, like you said, in your opinion. Not everyone has the same experience with the AD18. Though, I ended up with the Topping MX3. *Shrug*

I stopped using my ad18 with USB and switched over to optical. Something about this amp and USB is super buggy. From the moment my computer monitor stopped going to sleep after 5 mins i knew something was up because this was the only thing i added to my machine. Switched to optical and boom, PC was back to normal. The SA300 doesn't have any USB issues and the BT and UI controls/performance are much improved.

Detailed reasons why SA300 is better imo: The USB on the AD18 is problematic. So I had to use optical on that. BT was also terrible. The SA300 has great USB and BT works properly. Also, RCA sub out is a huge plus as opposed to 3.5 sub out on AD18. Literally the only think on the ad18 worth considering is the optical in in my opinion. Even the headphone amp is mediocre.
