topping

I'll post it here, as they are both: a DAC and a H.D. amp. I'm thinking on a future upgrade from E50+L50 to a DX9 or D70+A70 ("pro" ones), or something else. Price difference is $99 or less. Thoughs?

I added balanced outs from my D90 to my preamp. Now when I change tracks and the DAC is changing sampling rates (you see the new sample rate on the display) it makes a crackling noise. This only happens with the XLR, when I switch to RCA I don’t experience the noise. The DAC is making the...

I benefited quite a lot of the information in this forum and Amir's reviews to perform what I consider the ultimate upgrade to my system. Now I want to share my findings hoping that they will be helpful for anybody interested in any of the products I chose. Please be aware that I have a small...

Hi, I wanted to increase the quality of my pc sound so i bought active speakers. But i had a problem on source side. The problem is that: I watched some you tube reviews and according to their advices, i bought audio interfaces. But they made distortion in sound or occasional intermittent sound...

I just bought a Topping dx3 pro plus to pair with my s350db speakers. When I hook with RCA cables, there will always be a hissing sound, and the sound coming from the speaker will be bent or unlistenable. With my previous DAC (Soundblaster x3) I insert the optical cables and it works just...

RME ADI-2 Pro FS R Black Edition > Topping A70 Pro > Fostex T50RP 50th Anniversary Edition Planar Magnetic Headphones. My Goodness The Sound is Incredible!

Hello guys, my hd6xx will arrive in 2 weeks, I want to purchase a dac/amp under 100 for it, I don't want to compromise power because people say that they are quite difficult to drive, is it even possible?, portable ones would be really really nice. I have these in mind: Topping dx1 Tanchjim...

The Topping DX5 is a desktop class DAC/headphone amplifier all-in-one device. It is delivered in a nice box with quite significant texture. The front side has two headphone outputs in the form of a 4-pin XLR and 6.3 mm TRS, both for single-ended connections. In the middle is...

Looking for advice, as I’ve spent days reading about headphones amplifiers. My current setup is as follows: - Headphones: Focal Stellia - Streamer / DAC: Eversolo Master Edition - Amplifier: Yamaha A-S2000 (has a built-in headphones amp, not sure what it’s worth) I might also try other...

Hey, I am very close to buying the Ascend Acoustics Sierra-LX and a Fosi Audio V3 with a 48v power supply or an Aiyima A07 Pro Amplifier. I wanna be able to connect them to both my Wiim mini my Topping E30 and my TV, which has Optical and a 2,5 mm jack. This is a dumb question but how do I...

Hi Everyone! I am currently looking for an upgrade for christmas present to myself with a budget of 700-800 AUD Right now my setup is DT 900 Pro X attached to Fiio K5 Pro Ess. I have 2 options here, I found on local fb marketplace that someone is selling Audeze LCD-2C for $700 AUD, or...

The starting point, a dac and power amp. The power amp is not for discussion here. But, from a technical/measurable perspective will there be any benefits from adding extra devices into the stack. -First choice, an example, If you buy the Gustard x18 dac, xlr out 5V Will there be any benefits...

Hi Folks, I like to hear some opinions on my plan. I recently thrown away my NAD C658. A Topping D70 Pro Octo took its place. Now I need Dirac Live or REW back ;) So, to avoid up/downsampling of audio in the miniDSP Flex or somehow, I like to complicate things... ;) N130 -> USB-Out -> Topping...

So I have this new amplifier aune X7S(2021 version) and here at asr it was measured to have rather high output impedance(about 11 ohms). But I also have a topping L30 II with me and I wanted to sell one of the amps so I compared their sound on the single ended outputs with the Hifiman HE400SE(28...

I found not many teardowns with this model, especially with the output transistors uncovered and with surrounding close-ups, so I decided to purchase one for myself (second hand) to pair it with my D90 MQA then write an article here on ASR. Looks like taking the PCB out from the case if somehow...

This is not a formal review, just because I recently completed its measurements and saw that many people in the forum were curious. Since I have it, it's not a bad idea to share it. I, like everyone else, am looking forward to Amir's official review of it! Its input and output parameters...

I've got the DX7 Pro+ and it has occasional crackle problems in the left channel. Does anyone else leave their DACs on all the time? If I turn off the DAC at the back and turn it back on the problem clears up and if I switch the XLR outputs I get the crackles in the other speaker. I also get...

I am offering for sale 2 Topping Pre90 preamps and an Ext90 Input Expansion module in excellent condition with only moderate use. These are extremely transparent devices with extraordinarily low distortion and noise. Original shipping cartons, insulated boxes, power cords, manuals included...

I'm looking for a new DAC and I'm currently having trouble deciding between the D1SE2 and the D90SE. I've done some research and I know that they're both great DACs, but I'm still not sure which one would be the best fit for me. I'm wondering if anyone here has any experience with both of these...

Hello, I'm using TOPPING’s dac E70, preamplifier PRE90 and electrostatic headphone amplifier EHA5 with my active speakers(Genelec 8030c). I'm having a problem of clipping in a certain situation while using these devices. I am not good at English, but I will explain the situation where I suffer...
