    Shenzhenaudio Topping EX5 Review (DAC and Headphone Amplifier)

    @amirm would you switch from the smsl 500 (v2) ? i paid ~ 360 for the SMSL m500 and amazon offered a refund. So i could get the EX5 for around ~300 i use XLR Yamaha HS5 and some headphones depending on the situation (mostly Audio Technica ATH 900)

    strange SMSL M500 high 3rd harmonic

    hm .. i feel offended if someone decides im not able to do s.th. ^^ but you have a point with the reverse engeneering part. i was under the assumtion that the firmeware is all the same since the chips are often from the same manufacturers. And the "secret sauce" could be put into a proprietary...
