One example is that some people will happily pay for looks (not the case here) or that premium feeling some devices have.I've been using M500 Mk3 for many months (I bought it when it was launched last year).. and am quite happy with its quality. Its performance is of course well beyond my hearing capabilities. It also came with very high performing headphone amp (imho).
Looking at measurements of newer and much pricier products from SMSL (also from Topping), I'm having hard time in understanding price-performance relationship. What might be benefits of choosing those products over their lower (yet high performing) offerings like m500 mk3?
Would also pay built quality (inside and out) and proved sourcing of reliable components (kind of insurance for the devices hooked to it).
Also warranty,ease of every interaction may be required,etc.
