I'm looking for a DAC to pair with Topping PA5 amp, max to 700 EUR.
Raspberry 4B is used as a streamer to DAC and then to PA5 amp.
I'm using Moode with PEQ, so MiniDSP flex/dac isnt required.
I have three "candidates" for DAC:
Topping EX5
SMSL DO200
Soncoz SGD1
I've had Topping E50 DAC, but it had a high pitch noise coming from unit (audible from cca 10-20cm away). So, the only criteria for DAC is NOT to have high pitched noise from the unit (or power supply).
Which of three mentioned DACswould you recommend?
Thank you.
