    I have been delighted with my SMSL M-400 DAC. Really superb in terms of all the high def - hifi stuff and streets ahead of my previous M2Tech Young.

    But for the joy of music and a sense of 'rightness' and presence, it's the best I've heard.

    Ah - I have just posted on the SMLS M400 chat i started that I have had the DAC for a few weeks and have been highly impressed. As you say it sounds very right - it’s probably the best DAC i have had also.

    It has a very natural sound and a good weight/depth to the midband that other DACs I have had dont have.

    Oh my god! There's nothing wrong with the bidet is there?

    “Nothing discloses real character like the use of power. It is easy for the weak to be gentle. Most people can bear adversity. But if you wish to know what a man really is, give him power. This is the supreme test. It is the glory of Lincoln that, having almost absolute power, he never abused it, except on the side of mercy".

    “You see these dictators on their pedestals, surrounded by the bayonets of their soldiers and the truncheons of their police ... yet in their hearts there is unspoken fear. They are afraid of words and thoughts: words spoken abroad, thoughts stirring at home -- all the more powerful because forbidden -- terrify them. A little mouse of thought appears in the room, and even the mightiest potentates are thrown into panic.”

    I have a Jolida FX III, with various tubes, sound much better than my ss ones, smoother, larger soundstage etc. Switching back to ss they sound harsh.

    I own an SMSL SU8, a HIFI Me USB 38 Pro, a Soncoz SGD1 and a Caiman Seg + Dorado power supply. At present I am using the Caiman Seg. I have also owned and sold an Audio Lab M Dac, a Schiit Gungnir Multibit and one from Emotiva ( Cannot remember the product ). Quite enjoying the Caiman Seg at present!

    Not owned many standalone DAC's.

    The first was a modified Jolida FXIII which sounded great but I sold it on as it sat for a long time not being used.

    Earlier this year I decided it would be good to be able to stream music over Blue Tooth from my phone and laptop so started looking around and settled on a Soncoz SGD1. The functionality of this DAC plus the reviews on a certain web site helped me decide this would be a good option.

    I am not disappointed with the quality of the sound and the Meridian CD 200/DAC combo works very well and I am listening to more CDs now. The bluetooth APTx connectivity is great and the quality again is very pleasing.
