What about this? https://www.thomann.de/intl/zoom_livetrak_l_12.htm

Have you tested another USB port on your computer?

Have you tried a different cable?

Connected to what?

It's the same chip as in my HAD-1 from swissonic, (Thomann in-house brand) https://www.audiosciencereview.com/forum/index.php?threads%2Fteardown-and-measurements-swissonic-had-1-ad-da-converter-headphone-amplifier.6954%2F#post-155672

Probably wont make a difference. Better speakers will.

Who? Me? ;)

The thing that can improve the audio is the final part of the chain. Speakers, DSP, room treatment.

You might, depending on use. I E Desktop/mobile app/web browser There is no important info there. The limiting factor is still human hearing. 96dBa? is still more than enough. CD vs HIRES https://www.audiosciencereview.com/forum/index.php?threads/cd-vs-hi-res.25979/

Not agreeing at all. To use 24bit/96kHz in a studio is fine. All plugins and things you want to do "might" color the sound, so to be sure to have enough headroom you record, produce and master in 24/96. Finally making a CDA, FLAC, ALAC, AAC, MP3, OGG VORBIS, MP4A file for the target customer...

My suggestion: Motu M4 Adam T5V using balanced cables. They are active monitors, don't need an amp. Check out thomann.de DAC: MOTU M4 Headphone Amp: your choice. Drop the NAD and the desktop dac. Are you moving around with the computer? Should give you more money towards headphone.

I really like my DT 700 Pro X too. A great upgrade to my equed MDR-1a that was singing it's last song.

As a owner of the MDR-1A, I think the DT 700 is a big upgrade. Now I don't feel I have to EQ the headphone, at least for now. The next upgrade if I ever got the money will be the Aeon RT closed and a amp. I'm kind of a bass head anyway. :) (I'm not mixing or producing music, so take my thoughts...

Why? There wont be any audible difference between the Topping DAC and the MOTU M4/M2. Without more info from OP it's hard to give more advice. I would connect it like this: PC -> USB C -> MOTU M4 -> Bal connection -> A90

Right, forgot about the mic.
