    Topping D30Pro Review (Balanced DAC)

    Thanks, basically voltage doubles, which is +3dBm and SNR improved by about the same 3dBm. Edit: Doubling voltage should be +6dBm.

    Topping D30Pro Review (Balanced DAC)

    Ok, but how? I guess, chips outputs are not just simple connected in parallel.

    Topping D30Pro Review (Balanced DAC)

    Another one, how 8 chips can sound better ("It provides a superior restored capacity with subtle details displayed.”) than 4? Or 1? I mean, DAC should digital to analog conversion. Are they converting with 8 DACs and then combining result to somehow improve restoration of original analog signal?

    Topping E70 Stereo DAC Review

    It should be possible. I don't think that 12V trigger out actually powers anything, at least it shouldn't. It should be just a signal. If you have an ammeter, you can check.

    Topping E70 Velvet (AKM 4499EX)

    So, it's a feature? :D I guess, BT is not an option due lack of LDAC or aptX?

    Of course you will! Every new piece of audio equipment sounds better... while it smells as new :)

    Topping E70 Stereo DAC Review

    I'm using E70V with Nvidia shield (USB) and phone (BT) no clicking or breaking.

    Topping E70 Stereo DAC Review

    I haven't noticed that when changing BT sample rate. Just tried, it mutes, changes sample rate, unmute. Maybe the phone is doing that, not sure. What kind of connection are you using?

    Yeah, typical unfinished/unpolished sw/fw.

    Topping D30Pro Review (Balanced DAC)

    Use RCA with "summing circuit" to sub and XLR to pre-amp.

    Topping D30Pro Review (Balanced DAC)

    I build something similar not so long time ago for butkicker :D I think I use 470 ohm or something like that. Too lazy to open RCA now, sorry. With a remote, I can change E70V output to XLR, RCA or both. I have active (Adam audio) speakers and subwoofer. Btw, line out has internal impedance...

    Topping D30Pro Review (Balanced DAC)

    It's simple to build. You just just need two resistors (about 1k) in series between left and right, and take signal between them to sub. Ground remains as is. You can even hide them inside RCA. Of course, you need soldering iron :)

    Topping D30Pro Review (Balanced DAC)

    It's still good idea to lower the output, input to your preamp.

    Maybe our colleague zenon will find video below interesting :) https://www.audiosciencereview.com/forum/index.php?threads/audio-blind-testing-you-are-doing-it-wrong-video.26809/

    Topping E70 Stereo DAC Review

    I'm just curious, are those capacitors audiophile editions? Do they need to be used, burned with specific music for a while to align with the rest of the system and provide a desirable, soulful audio experience? :)

    Can you really hear the difference?

    Topping E70 Stereo DAC Review

    Auto turn will turn on device/wake up from the standby and select a valid source. But only from the standby. If, for example, two sources are valid and one gets disconnected, it will not switch to another. Even worse, it will go into the standby mode. Disconnecting and connecting another, valid...

    Review and Measurements of Topping DX3Pro DAC and Headphone Amp

    Did you try to increase volume on the phone? Or both, Topping and the phone. It could be that bt volume on the phone is too low or off.

    Topping E70 Stereo DAC Review

    Well, once more, why insisting on 5V if with 4V you don't have such issues?! I didn't even bother to try 5V with my Adams.

    Topping E70 Stereo DAC Review

    Why do you want to use 5V if 4V works perfectly? Maybe L70 input is not designed for a higher input signal. However, I would expect a distortion not a pressure. Higher input signal is not necessary better ;)
