Wow. I am not aware of any discrete ΣΔ DACs being better than the best integrated so far.

Surely they don't make their own DACs at Topping. So those would be the current models from AKM or ESS since there is noone else left in...

Ok, then one would need a Pi with a digital in hat and USB host out. Yes, the DM7, besides home theater, only makes sense if you are...

Correct. For now, Topping Tune is only available for Windows. Seems logical, until you realize that you cannot connect two USB slave...

You mean device = cheapo S/PDIF or optical to USB out? If the PEQ is indeed implemented in the XMOS, it should work. Something like...

Wait. The PEQ is not implemented in the driver for the Windows PC but somewhere in the box, presumably the XMOS? If so, why not apply it...

Saw this today...

Interestingly, RCA has a higher noise floor but HD2 is a tad better and HD3 considerably. HD 4 and 5 no difference. I wonder if they do...

Sorry if this has been asked before: - The v3 mono is not on sale anywhere yet, is it? - The v3 stereo is nowhere near as good (spec 88...

The hump always exists. It's just not masked by noise in my measurements. The AP results always take noise into account, so the hump may...

Yeah, I did. The whole reason I asked was that those IMD vs. level plots on the HPA seem to show an ESS hump. Is that present on the...

If you mentioned my smpte ffts, these are just left and right channels.

Thanks. What's the difference in test signal or setup between the two graphs?

Is IMD via headphone out or line out? If, line out SE or balanced?

I wasn't aware the hump shows up in THD measurements of ESS DACs. This very interesting thread on ESS vs AKM ADCs prompted me to search...
