Now my OG DX7 has been beaten with the lowest end part.... the D10... Audio has become like CPU's! My DX7 is barely 3 years old and it has been outdone... I would love if Amir would retest the OG DX7 on the "new" / current test bench.

It might be an upgrade but I would wait for Amir to review one first.

Overall I think that the Topping NX4 DSD is a better product for a third of the price.

There are so many good options in the price tier of $200-250. Even the Topping D50/D50S at $250 is a killer option. You have JDS with the Element DAC, Schiit has a new DAC in that price range too. Geshelli has 2 DAC's in that price range. All of them are chart-toppers and are more than...

The performance is just ATROCIOUS. You should test out that cheap topping speaker amp and see if its any better. I think its like the TP60?

That isn't too bad if you figure that you are going to have to be listening at max volume for that long.

This isn't even close to competitive.... There is so little power aswell that you might as well just use whatever headphone jack you have.

What else is new.... most everything I have seen from AudioQuest is just a money lifting joke. This is even worse than Schiit

Ah yea see that isnt available for shipping to the USA. It doesn't seem to really be available at all in the USA.

I don't disagree lol. If the dongle is better than your laptop and you are fine with the performance then you are fine with it. Even if it wasn't great its only like $80 vs $2500. There are alot of good dongles now for low prices, so you can upgrade this dongle now if you still have it

Audio doesn't scale linearly like that. The poor SINAD of this device makes it just a poor device. Its definitely possible that your laptop is worse all around (especially in the amp department) and therefore this sounds "much better" but it doesnt make it good by any stretch of the imagination.

best

I looked around but didn't see it on ebay.

Can you link me to one? I searched for LG G5 Hi-fi Plus DAC and didn't find it.

So is the one out now a homebrew solution of the original implementation or what?
