You've seen a Schiit stack. Well here's a Sabaj stack.

The headphone amp is cheap and good. Completely black background and three gain levels.

The dac unit has a ton of inputs including coax, optical and Bluetooth. Sadly Bluetooth mode induces RF interference, but I rarely use it, so meh.

The dac unit is now discontinued.

Looks just like a Topping.

At $150, I would have suggested the Topping L30II, but since you've already bought it: great stack!

I think I read somewhere that it's the same (or similar).

Do I have a vague memory that the topping one overheats or something? I might be wrong.

That was the first generation before the patch. I'm talking about the second generation

Ah OK. Thanks for clarification.

Why is a 150 buck amp considered cheap?

[–] vext01@lemmy.sdf.org 2 points 1 year ago (2 children)

It's £85.99 from amazon UK now, but it was more like £70 when I bought it.

Ooo, I was looking at aliexpress.

Damn, I can only find it for $150 in the US.
