    The fan kicks on at 65C. You can change when it turns on though.
    1. Enter the menu and set the "SUB GAIN" to the lowest
    2. Return to the main interface and turn the volume to the lowest
    3. Continue to turn down the volume until the setting interface appears
    4. Press the knob button to select the "fan on temp" option, and press the knob or the remote control up and down buttons to adjust the fan on temperature
    5. Press and hold the knob to exit

      @@ZReviews Hello Z!
      One question. If you only owned a DT 990 edition 600 ohm, which amp would you choose for it between the two? Liquid spark Vs sp200.
      I know those two are different class amps but, the question is would the smsl sp200 make an audible difference for the extra cost?
      A response would be greatly appreciated

    You'd think they could implement a simple low end cut-off for the speakers when the sub out is in use. It's 2021 and I don't understand why SMSL, Topping, ect. aren't doing this (especially w/ higher priced amps). I mean Vanatoo has been doing it on their powered speakers since 2012!

    • @jamband4230
      @jamband4230 2 года назад

      Yes it only makes sense especially considering how powerful this amp is and it's also a desktop which is generally used for smaller desktop setups with small drivers. For $650 they should add a high pass

    It sounds quite impressive with the NS1000M speakers that are like truth serum speakers. It compares favorably to my vintage behemoth P2200 and PC2002m 200+ amps as well as the MX-1 in terms of sonic character and clarity. As for the temperature, no issues once its set via the menu and few hours of loud volume in range of 80+ db only brings the temp to 52C.

    I love the way Zeos spends a half hour talking, but never goes into detail about how it sounds. Is it bright, is it detailed, is it spacious, is there pinpoint imaging, is there much depth, does it sound real, or does it sound better than Class AB? Who knows. It's more of a review about features. And that must be what hundreds of thousands of followers enjoy about Zeos reviews.

    You can buy a purifi class D amp for $400 more and have 250 watts @ 4 ohms with a Sinad of 108dB. You can do even better if you bypass the default input buffer with a high quality preamp output. The sinad for the sa400 is 81dB.

      @@Uebelkraehe the measurement differences are substantial, to the degree that the 1et400a would clearly sound better with suitable speakers and source. The sa400 gets hot which is not good in terms of long term reliability. Capacitor lifespans decrease substantially with increasing temperatures. To me the 1et400a is an excellent value, while the sa400 is of mediocre value due mostly to reliability issues.

Is the SMSL SA400 a power amplifier (that works best connected to a pre-amplifier) or is the SMSL SA400 an 'integrated' amplifier that can be connected directly to a source like a DAC ? It is advertised as a 'power' amplifier but seems more like an integrated ? Thank you, Peter.

      So? I don't get people who say that like it matters. Almost everything we buy here in the US is made in China - so what? They can and do make some of the best items in the world as well - it's all down to what you want them to make. Just because a lot of 'manufacturers' here decided to cut costs and get the cheapest crap they could to increase profits doesn't mean made in China is crap - they will hold whatever quality and QA standards you want to pay for. That the thing though - quality and especially QA cost money... and consumers here got used to cheap.
      That's not their fault. Look at a lot of the recent surge in quality electronics for proof - most are not 'cheap', but with some due diligence you get what you pay for.
