Not what I'm finding. PowerAmp can only "see" 78 of my Hi-Rez albums. I have over 113Gb of music files on my LG V35! Am going to try Neutron trial and even go back to Foobar2000!
Has anyone found software app, other than UAPP and Neutron, that can play files thru the Quad-Dac? they play fine but library and playlist creation is terrible.
The Monoprice unit states dual THX AAA 788 amps. Same as the Massdrop '789' ? The real question is the implementation of the dual AKM4493 chips. As amirm has shown in many tests, just having a name DAC chip does not mean automatic success. The components upstream and downstream from the chip are...
Fantastic work as usual amirm! But you present me with a hard choice to make. I have the D50 but need a headphone amp plus pre-amp. So I would be buying the DX3Pro but only using 2 out of 3 functions. I stopped using the Schiit Magni 3 because it was such a horrible pre-amp and the headphone...
Oh, how I wish! I've sent emails to Topping since getting my D50. Why can't there be a A50 and a PA5?? With their own acrylic shelf unit!
But some of the other commenters are likely right. Given competition, it's probably not a money maker for Topping.
Congrats zandm7! I purchased the V35 and have spent the morning setting everything up. It was great to hear my 24/192 files in my car! But I'm looking for something other than the LG player too. I can verify that it plays DSD64 & DSD128.
Good news amirm! New member ishmeister has the V30 and reports that it does play 24/192 and DSD64. I doubt they would change that in the V35, which is going for $699 at Project Fi (I have a 6p) plus a $150 service credit. ishmeister posted a link to a Stereophile review that I somehow missed...
Ishmeister, since you have the LG V30 can you state what bit depth and scan frequency the phone's 'Quad Dac' is capable of playing? I was looking at the V35 or new V40 to hold my 24bit/192Khz Flac music files and play into my AUX input in my car or drive my AKG K712Pros around the house.
I'm...
Great review, amirm! I've been looking at this phone hoping it would have real Hi-Res performance. But I have sent 2 emails to LG to see what bit depth and sample frequency are with out any real info in a reply. Can this handle 24bit/192Khz? With the option of a 2TB add in card I could store all...
So I guess I'm still waiting for a Topping ' A50' and a 'PA5'. That would be a true budget stack that should sound great. I see that you too found the headphone output to have a 'brightness / brassy' tone. Too bad you couldn't test it as a preamp.
I will wait for a better performing preamp/...
Not at all. The Mag III can act as a pre-amp. They speak highly of it's versatility . The D50 goes to the Mag III , then the Mag III goes to the PA3..
The PA3 is the amplifier of the signal from the Mag III. Just as the PA3 is the amplifier for the direct feed from the D50.
I forgot about Foobar...
I wish I had all those cool tools and bright shiny toys that amirm has. But I wouldn't know how to use them anyway.
So I had to find my own real world, in your face, reality TV ready, do or die A/B testing of the Schiit vs. Non Schiit!
And so, behold,
I took the right channel from the Topping...
