    Topping D90SE Review (Balanced DAC)

    Just to repeat: only 1.87 works. 1.88 does NOT!

    Topping D90SE Review (Balanced DAC)

    Yes, upgrade your firmware on the D90SE to the 1.87 version. Note that the later 1.88 version does NOT work. It has to be 1.87. I spent ages trying to resolve that exact same problem and finally tried the upgrade. Eureka!! Good luck.

    Review and Measurements of Benchmark AHB2 Amp

    For what it's worth (?), I have moved onto using Genelec monitors and subs, BUT I can say that I had a pair of bridged AHB2's driving my old Revel F208's and I have nothing but praise to laud (even now) on that pairing. Marvellously subjective!

    Genelec 8361A vs 8351B

    I suspect the game is about to change with today's launch of the Genelec 8381A speaker. Frightening to imagine.

    Roon Set-up and Optimisation

    Hi All, I now use the Topping D90 SE with a Raspberry Pi4 and Roon with Qobuz for streaming. My endpoint is my Dell XPS15 laptop. I was wondering how people set-up their own Roon's for maximum performance? For example, do you prefer Asio or Alsa; do you prefer lossless or Enhanced, etc? I was...

    Topping D90SE, playing on optical

    Just to say a huge thank you for the kind help and suggestions, which have led to me now enjoying full access on my D90 SE.The solution was to download the 1.87 Topping update (even though 1.88 fails). I am therefore currently enjoying my set-up, but was wondering if others might be able to...

    KRK ROKIT 5 Gen 4 Review (Studio Monitor)

    A possible answer might lay in Amir's reviews of blind testing and speaker assessment. For example: https://www.audiosciencereview.com/forum/index.php?threads/audio-blind-testing-you-are-doing-it-wrong-video.26809/

    Genelec 8361A vs 8351B

    I am not certain, but suspect that one would do in your circumstance. I am using mine for mid-field stereo listening at around 3 metres. For me, both subs are in the front wall corners. In that situation, the both 7360A's work perfectly with their locally sided 8361A. However, as I say, maybe a...

    Genelec 8361A vs 8351B

    On the issue of wiring up your Genelecs, a friend kindly produced these two options. I chose the stereo setup with a 90Hz cross over and couldn't be happier.

    Genelec 8361A vs 8351B

    I would say, just get the 8361A's and be done with it. They are objectively and subjectively perfect. I find that for a small space such as yours they work to perfection, and I enhance the midrange detail/timbre by integrating a stereo pair of Genelec 7360A's. That will give you a truly full...

    Vinyl Heads, Take Note

    From my personal listening experience, many records (the usual term for vinyl) surpass many streams in detail retrieval. Many records outperform CD's in detail retrieval. But many streams surpass many records in detail retrieval. Many CD's outperform records in detail retrieval. And the same...

    Vinyl Heads, Take Note

    I can only say that, if your overall system allows, well mastered (and cared for) vinyl is simply amazing. For example, with a cartridge such as the DH3 from Northwest Analogue or the MCX4 from Acoustic Signature (and appropriately accurate supporting components) the either/or thinking around...

    Topping D90SE Review (Balanced DAC)

    Hi All, just a couple of quick questions with which I hope someone can offer me some advice. Do you know if there would be any mileage in my changing from ALSA to ASIO? And, assuming there is, could you suggest how I would go about achieving this - bearing in mind my very limited technical...

    Topping D90SE Review (Balanced DAC)

    As completely counter intuitive as it seems, in downgrading from 1.88 to the recommended 1.87 everything WORKS!!! Glorious TV sound with no dropouts. Apologies to those who recommended this fix and were ignored. And thanks to all.

    Topping D90SE Review (Balanced DAC)

    I finally got around to trying the upgrade, but it's now onto v.1.88. I assume this will carry the earlier aspects of the 1.87 upgrade. Is this the case? If so, I'm still having very brief dropouts about every 30 seconds to 1 minute. That is far superior to the 13 second dropouts that I was...
