Wow this topic went completely of the rails fast..
The majority of the people completely missed the point I was trying to make or misunderstood it (i hope)
No I'm not looking for suggestions nor alternatives nor I need any of these and I'm very well aware that there are 1001 existing alternative ways to achieve what I proposed. Again that was not the point at all.
I simply wanted to create a thread to share thoughts about Topping/SMSL entering the market segment of a DAC and/or AIO with an ADC included like Schiit and Mayflower Electronics. Those two companies pour a "gaming sauce" over their products, I just think that a company like Topping could do better than either of these two other companies without having to hide behind the "gaming" facade.
Instead this became a thread about how the audio interface is the be all and end all.. well it is simply not. Look the the performance, price and all the bells and whistles that comes with an average audio interface.. they hardly overlap at all with what the Fulla/ARC are trying to do.
Yes an audio interface is definitely the way to go when you're a mixer, streamer or running your own YouTube channel or something alike. For the demographic that has an USB DAC/AIO because they love to listen to high quality music and need an ADC every now and then the audio interface falls short as the audio interface is focussed on different aspects.
Amir reviewed the Moto and Babyface. I just repeated what he stated in his review and apparently when Amir says it it's fine but when I repeat what he says in the review it suddenly becomes "audiophile bias". You can call it audiophile bias all day long but at the end of the day objectively measured output power of 24mw is just poor as Amir also labeled it poor. As an audio interface it's just "fine" but again what the audio interface is doing very well is not the focus of a device like Fulla/ARC.
I'm disappointed that this thread turned into a crusade on how the audio interface is the be all and end all, and everyone is just laser focussed on that portion missing the original intent of this thread.
A moderator might as well lock this thread.
