How would this stack up against the SMSL M8 DAC (just had a drop at $149) with a Topping TP60 amp (around $220 street) . Much more power and a much more advanced DAC, plus the TP60 has two switchable RCA inputs, so you can easily add a tuner or phono pre.
That's been my settup for a few months now and I love it. Amazing DAC and a transparent amp. In fact, I'd say the TP60 would make a fine drop by itself.

bamyasiI was looking at this amp before buying PS Audio Sprout. The weak USB DAC section in NuForce DDA120 really turned me out. The DAC in there is two generations old and it cannot even do 24/192 on coaxial not to mention DSD... and its USB input is only up to 24/96 max. I have plenty of 24/192 files and didn't want to go for a downsample conversion. I think Optoma need to replace this amp with one that has more modern and future proof internal DAC.
Otherwise the NuForce DDA120 is a very well built and capable little amp and will suit people that don't have higher resolution files now and have no plans to purchase them in the future.
