    How about the ADI-2 Pro FSR BE?

    No, just waiting for some cool new features ;-)

    Topping Centaurus R2R DAC Review

    Actually, I was referring to the ADI-2. So in summary, no NEW features for more than 12 months!

    Topping Centaurus R2R DAC Review

    I fully agree but I guess that feature was released in June 2023!

    Topping Centaurus R2R DAC Review

    Haven’t seen any new features for the RME ADI-2 Pro for more than one year! Just out of curiosity, what was the last new feature that was added?

    Topping Centaurus R2R DAC Review

    Honestly, I do not understand the whole discussion around this R2R DAC. Topping developed for the first time a new R2R DAC with a good performance. I think this is perfectly fine, because there is obviously a market for that. There are other companies that replace an AKM chip with a mediocre...

    Topping Centaurus R2R

    Most people simply don‘t want to use a PC in their HiFi system and prefer a PEQ in their DAC/streamer.

    Topping Centaurus R2R

    Actually there are already a number of companies that provide a DSP/PEQ in their DAC or streamer. Eversolo, WiiM and Fiio provide already more advanced implementations including compressors, limiter, enhancer, room correction, 10 or more band PEQ, mobile app control, etc. Fiio K19 - Innovative...

    Topping Centaurus R2R

    This R2R DAC looks very interesting because it also provides a 10-Band PEQ and a nice display at half the price of the HoloAudio Cyan R2R DAC :)

    I2S to USB interface ?

    The Shanling EH3 DAC provides an I2S input and an USB output. It also has an streamer and headphone amp on board. https://en.shanling.com/article-IntroEH3.html

    HDMI to IIS/Coax DoP Converter

    It‘s a typo and should be „DUO“ to route the TV signal to the HDMI output and the extracted audio to the digital outputs.

    HDMI to IIS/Coax DoP Converter

    A much better way to play SACDs is to extract the original DSD64 files and stream them. There is an extensive thread on how to apply a simple hack to the most common blueray players from Oppo, Sony, Pioneer,…...

    Topping D50 III Balanced DAC with EQ Review

    I just answered the question above ;-) BTW: If you need balanced outputs with a higher SINAD than the RME just add another DAC like the Topping D50 III to the WiiM Ultra. If you need a proper phono pre with MC support, just add a second phono pre to the separate analog input. With 2k cost...

    Topping D50 III Balanced DAC with EQ Review

    Don’t worry, for the price difference you can easily add an external headphone amp ;-)

    Topping D50 III Balanced DAC with EQ Review

    The next generation DACs with 10-band PEQ that works for all inputs, were already shown by Topping at the CanJam NYC. The D90 III Discrete is based on a new discrete 1-bit DAC module using a positive and negative 16-element DAC for each channel. Another more advanced DAC is the D900 which also...

    TOPPING DX9!

    Which of two DACs sound better?

    RME ADI-2/4 Pro SE

    „ignored“ - sort of, I disabled it. Actually, I hate it if volume is changing all of a sudden!

    RME ADI-2/4 Pro SE

    @asrUser I guess, because the RME ADI-2/4 Pro is not competitive in terms of measurements compared to the top DACs. @s9_0d1n Just have a look again at the Eversolo DMP-A8, which provides a fully symmetrical R2R-based analog volume control, or look at the Topping DX9. Both DACs are using the...

    RME ADI-2/4 Pro SE

    True. If the maximum performance or sound quality were most important to me, then I would certainly not have an RME DAC.

    Hifiman Ananda Stealth V2 Headphone Review

    I‘m an owner of regular Hifiman Ananda and I do not have any quality problems with it. After tweaking with a PEQ I think the Ananda are amazing sounding headphones which are very comfortable too.
