Updated to a balanced DAC and cables to match.
Difference was not worth the hundreds of dollars invested.
Money is far better spent on headphones.
I like the 789 for IEMs and full size headphones (not many THX based amplifiers support IEMs like 789) and desktop setup with SU-8s.
The below recommendations from Andy vault.

At $200, you're not going to beat this level of performance, based on objective, unbiased, reproducible measurements. I challenge you to give a recommendation if you consider this overpriced.
Unlike the other guy who says this is overpriced and then doesn't have anything to add.

If you are buying it from Topping or SMSL, IF there is a problem with the Amp or Dac, they don't have service centers in the United States. So, I would need to ship it to the China to get it repaired which is a pain the butt. If this is from Drop, they are responsible (even though it is made in China) and you will just ship it to the US Drop facility. This will cut down the waiting time and processing.
