    Elac Debut Reference DBR-62 Speaker Review

    should i get a second pair of dbr-62s for my home or try something else? the m16s are quite a bit more (about USD300) than the DBR-62s. do i get 50% the better performance from them? on the other hand if i stick with the elacs, I won't be "broadening my horizons"

    Topping D30Pro Review (Balanced DAC)

    @JohnYang1997 does this mean that there's no hope at all for the jitter rejection issue with cd players and some TVs? or do you mean the firmware update for that issue will come in a later update? is it fixable at all?

    topping D30 Pro vs E30: what do i get for an extra USD200?

    @JohnYang1997 i think the d10b will be too limited for me. i want to buy the d30 pro but there seems to be an issue. i saw you replying in the d30 pro thread and realized you're a topping rep. i already posted there, but will post here again just in case. as you probably already know there are...

    TV->RPi->DAC possible?

    If a DAC doesn't have enough inputs (like say the d10 balanced), can I plug the TV (via either toslink or RCA) in to the RPi streamer instead? If so would the sound coming out be any different that if the TV were to be directly connected to the DAC?

    topping D30 Pro vs E30: what do i get for an extra USD200?

    if in future i need to connect a subwoofer would i be able to do it in to the RCA connectors? can the d10b output to both RCA and TRS at the same time?

    topping D30 Pro vs E30: what do i get for an extra USD200?

    from the picture, it looks like those are not xlr outputs. are there several different types of "balanced"?
