    1st step in sonic clarity, the ear itself...

    While it is not the most appealing aspect of Hi-Fidelity, it deserves consideration. Do you have your ears cleared of wax & other debris annually? If you don't, you are likely listening to all your expensive equipment with the effective equivalent of -6Db ear plugs.

    Advice on new speaker decision

    I think you have a great system. Mine is similar, I have the Vandy's and a pair of Emotiva monoblock amps, with a Topping E50 as (DAC/Preamp) and WiiM as Optical input. I was pretty happy with the setup but the bass seemed too soft & undefined. I added a subwoofer and my system is complete ! Now...

    Topping E50 Review (Balanced DAC)

    Yes, the E50 IS A PRE AMP. You can use TRS to balanced or the RCA plugs to your amplified speakers. The remote for the E50, when in preamp mode can control the volume. Just add your source in ie a WiiM streamer and you have a sweet system !

    Topping E50 Review (Balanced DAC)

    This Topping E50 sounds amazing as a pre-amp for a Wiim Pro optical input into a pair of monoblock amps. I'm hearing what seems like 10% more of the source material's details. An example, I was listening to Steely Dan's album, Aja, "Black Cow" all these years I thought it said; Was a Bogart...

    Topping E50 Review (Balanced DAC)

    My Emotiva Amps have only RCA so that won't work for me. Would the cables I show combine the stereo (mini XLR i.e. TRS) to mono for the SUB Female single XLR input?

    Topping E50 Review (Balanced DAC)

    Would this work? A pair of TRS male to XLR male mated to XLR3 male to Dual XLR3 female Y Cable and plug the single male lead to the SUB ?

    Topping E50 Review (Balanced DAC)

    I like this, has anyone done this? It would be great if I can use the RCA outs to my monoblocks & the pair of balanced to my SUB (you need BOTH channels for all the bass right?) However, my sub has only 1 XLR input but 2 RCA & 2 Line level inputs & LFE (RCA) so HOW, would I do this ?
