Could you please test this on a VAX-11.
Are you an Anti-VAXer?
Could you please test this on a VAX-11.
Mine is due Wednesday.
The cheapest conversion is leaving the negative balanced pin floating. This $5 adapter should do that:

I obtained the DM7 directly from Topping but (1) there was no promise of a review, (2) there is no Editorial approval for a review and (3) I am not personally committed to writing a review.May I ask if your DM7 has been sent to you from Topping? One handpicked as measuring the best for sending for review and measurements. Or did you anonymously buy one like we would from a reseller, that represents the standard build?
I can do that and, if convenient, I will, although my cabling/adapter will be different.A barrier for many of us with the Topping is we dont have four stereo balanced input power amps. Do you have an unbalanced RCA input power amp? Could you please try RCA for us and listen for noise eg stop a track and turn volume right up?
@dartinbout As you seem to have experience with it, can you answer a question I have? Do the Windows Topping drivers have an option to set the volume evel for each of the 8 channels separately? The Thysecon drivers do, but they are linked to specific UDB-VIDs of the DAC. Does the DAC have an option onboard to set the volumes? I would prefer to use the volume in the ES9038 chip, as this is mostly losless.I now have two Toppings. The DX7 Pro and now the DM7. In both cases, Windows 10 recognized them but limited their functionality without the provided Topping drivers. The DM7 would not function without the driver. This may be because I had the Topping driver installed for the DX7 Pro. I highly encourage the use of the Topping ASIO drivers to achieve the full functionality. Anything else and you are just trying to play Legos with 9v batteries. If you are trying to get this to work on a DEC, NeXT, Amiga or a PC Jr. I would re-think your life choices. Also, I would rule out amps without XLR connections. My powered RCA subwoofer is barking at me every time I power cycle the DM7. The other 7 channels are fine.
The DM7drivers do not, in them selves, provide individual channel volume control. There is a room correction feature in windows sound UI, but I have never used it. I set channel volume, for music, in Jr. River of FB2X. For video, either J.River, VLC, MPC-BE or whatever else I find that allows such alteration.@dartinbout As you seem to have experience with it, can you answer a question I have?

You can't control each output channel volume control?The DM7drivers do not, in them selves, provide individual channel volume control.

The Okto DAC 8 Pro did allow for this (even using the remote!) but overall I am happier with the Topping.
Well, shut my donut loving mouth! Look what I found! This is from the volume tab in the driver interface.You can't control each output channel volume control?
Not, IMO. Most player software can handle it.If that's not active yet, the dac is about useless IMO
Suppose it depends on what software one uses. As a Roon user, it's useless.Not, IMO. Most player software can handle it.
This is in the Topping Control Panel that's part of the Windows Driver package download? This is great and would make this a much more functional multichannel DAC. Topping definitely needs to update/enable their driver package to support this. I'm just wondering about us simple-minded folk who want to use this unit in conjunction with the Roon ROCK Linux operating system/endpoints (no Windows). Any ideas? -- guess we will have to use our Roon core DSP programming? Ugh!!!Look what I found! This is from the volume tab in the driver interface.
And that's why I posted what I did above. Should be accessible to cycle through each channel and change each one. Once again, Topping didn't listen to the request thread or contact people that actually use an MCH dac.This is in the Topping Control Panel that's part of the Windows Driver package download?

Nope. Roon can do it.Suppose it depends on what software one uses. As a Roon user, it's useless.
