What I understood from Topping designer, some DACs uses passive LPF path for the preamp like SMSL M400. This Gustard has active LPF as per their advertisement.

OK. Just wondering how you decided it was great. No worries.

And, do not believe that switching power supplies cannot be excellent as well, although doing so does require fairly advanced engineerino.  For example, the EMM labs DV-2 DAC, reviewed here: 

, by Chris uses a SMPS, as does the the SOTA Mola Mola Tambaqui DAC.

It's all about implementation.

I don't want to take away from the Topping thread, so I started another one about the Musician Pegasus.
