Z Review - SMSL SAP9
Added 2017-06-20 01:51:20 +0000 UTCSo I think I really like this. I just have to find the perfect use for this little thing. If I don't it may end up in the Yardsale.

I read somewhere on head-fi that the X1s claimed output specs are not accurate (200mw @ 300ohm) and that it actually outputs around 80mw @ 300 ohms. Not sure if that is true as I don't own a X1s. Interesting to see if the Yulong's 200mw @ 300 ohms claimed output is accurate. Some people are comparing it with the Jotunheim (minus the balanced output) which i think is weird.. Oh, well..

2017-07-02 01:38:35 +0000 UTCIt does seem to compete. Power is about the same but locked in Class A would eliminate the need for the X7s addon. Although it still isn't balanced.

2017-07-02 00:58:41 +0000 UTCTook a chance and bought this relatively new class A x1s "killer" (<a href="http://yulongaudio.com/en/product_detail.asp?pid=51" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">http://yulongaudio.com/en/product_detail.asp?pid=51</a> for USD170 used but i don't know if that claim holds up. Its supposed to arrive next week, pretty anxious to try it. I'd send you my unit for you to review but I live in the UK unfortunately. Can you please let me know what you think of the specs, at least on paper?

2017-06-21 03:47:02 +0000 UTCI just checked the specs, and even in balanced mode it's less powerful than my O2. It's cheaper though, so I guess that's fair.

2017-06-20 21:39:52 +0000 UTCI would think that you might have tried to run it off of a 500mA USB 2.0 port first which did not work, and then maybe a USB 3.0 port which can deliver more power (the amount I am uncertain about)

2017-06-20 15:08:10 +0000 UTCNow they have to come up with an affordable balanced DAC. SMSL GO!

2017-06-20 07:28:53 +0000 UTCI was a little bit worried about the fact the X7s didn't have balanced in. But for the short 60cm that it is from the DAC to the AMP I don't think it really matters. Still haven't got my X1s yet, got sent today so I should get it tomorrow. Can't wait!
