Excellent!

Windows driver is a bit weird, always comes up yellow in the Device Manager. No Bluetooth, but it's not an issue for a desktop setup.

Looks great, and has solid build quality. Not sure if it sounds any better than.

I had the O2 SDAC/AMP combo (which cost $150), and after comparing it to the Topping, I was disappointed to find that they both sound pretty much the same. I tested this amp and the O2 side by side and adjusted the volume to be around the same level, with high bitrate tracks on the same headphones, and I could not tell them apart (tested with Beyerdynamic Amiron Home headphones). I had been wondering for a while if a better DAC/AMP would really make the sound that much better so I decided to take the plunge to scratch that itch. The end result was pretty disappointing, and it just goes to prove I can't trust a bunch of stranger's opinions online. It could just be that the O2 was that good (has good ratings @ audiosciencereview, and so does this one), so there was no distortion (which is IMO the only objectively quantifiable attribute for these gadgets), but that's about it. There are a few reasons I'm keeping the Topping D7s:

It has multiple input options (other than just USB for the O2)
The volume control / knob is excellent and satisfying to use (not to mention there's a screen)
Built like a tank (albeit a bit large on my desk)

If you're looking for suddenly magically better sound quality, this is not it (and IMO I don't think any higher cost amps will be either), but if you want a nice piece of equipment to consolidate multiple audio inputs outputting to a single source, it's gonna fit your needs (for a steep - ish price)

No warranty? Device DOA and no remote?

Read the fine print. This is the response I got from support. “I just reviewed your order and it looks like this product didn't come with a manufacturer's warranty, which would be noted on the product run page. Since we do not have any inventory in stock, I am only able to offer a refund.”

Awesome DAC/ AMP

These punch way above their price in sound signature and weight. Heavily Recommended.

All In One

Excellent build quality and versatility.

On its own or with a XLR balanced amp it provides nice features and a clean, neutral sound. Straight forward functions and aesthetics make it my DAC of choice. It has replaced my Monolith THX as go to DAC because the problematic connections and lack of XLR output of the THX AAA -788, also lack of a remote.

Well the only reason i’m really considering the monolith over the 789. First its an aio solution. Second I guess its “future” proof. Lastly, I think its aesthetically pleasing to look at. But maybe thats just me. You think the beyer’s will shine on the monolith? Or am i better off upgrading my headphone first?

Nice DAC.Amp but finicky USB interface.

Although this is a great sounding DAC/Amp I found that swapping the USB cables was nearly impossible. The cable included with the DAC works fine on any computer I tried it with; however, I wanted to use a bit higher quality cable but none of the higher grade cables i tried worked. The computer failed to recognize the device with any other cables other than another really cheap cable provided with another DAC. It makes no sense. I got little help from the Manufacturer and I've been unable find any firmware updates that might help. Other than that issue I like it a lot.

Yeah, I don't understand why I've had trouble with other cables. I tried an Audioquest, a Schiit, a Chroma Cables, a Pangea etc. and none would work. It has to be a defect in the unit but I've had it long enough that a don't think SMSL would do anything for me. I just decided to live with the stock cable as long as it works.
