    SMSL RAW-MDA 1 DAC & Headphone Amp Review

    I don't have the RAW-MDA1 anymore, but it should be the same as my Topping D50 III. Go into the SMSL audio control panel and go into the "Info" tab. The revision should be the firmware version. Your driver version will be under the "About" tab.

    SMSL RAW-MDA 1 DAC & Headphone Amp Review

    Don't have my RAW-MDA1 anymore, but from what I remember, the fixed volume is only for the outputs in the back. You can just leave the outputs for all outputs to be on, and the volume wheel controls only the front outputs. It sounds like the issue that I was having with my units, which was...

    SMSL RAW-MDA 1 DAC & Headphone Amp Review

    I agree that the issue is on the device's design. People are just giving suggestions to work around this issue since the RAW-MDA1 performs so well sonically. I suspect that some of these Chinese companies don't bother with testing their devices in a high ESD environment, especially since a lot...

    Topping D50 III Balanced DAC with EQ Review

    Maybe one day, but I would just pick up static from somewhere else, like my cats, so it wouldn't completely solve my problem. It just happens so often in my area when it is cold and dry. Don't seem to recall having these problems during the humid Summer. Seems silly to try to cater my house...

    FiiO BTR17

    That's a shame with the bugs. I was originally looking into getting the BTR7 and then I saw that the BTR17 was coming out so I waited. I just placed an order for the R4 Eva so I guess I no longer have a need for the BTR17. I get your curiosity. I have no need for it anymore, but I'm also...

    FiiO BTR17

    Nobody interested in this? Personally I'm on the fence between this and a DAP for on the go listening. Not a fan of a dongle hanging out of my pocket while I'm walking. I'm leaning towards a DAP more as I don't have have a portable device to play my audio collection anymore. Also my Android...

    Topping D50 III Balanced DAC with EQ Review

    It does, but they will both be adjusted with the same volume, meaning you don't get two separate volume controls for the pre-amp.

    FiiO K7

    The delay really isn't that bad, less than a second. Only would be slow if you were blasting NSFW content on your speakers while people are home, but I would hope that isn't the case. For the RCA outputs in the back for speakers, you can either use it as a LO(lineout) with full output, or a...

    Topping D50 III optical input bug with 44.1kHz files

    I think what he wants to achieve with the poll is to see if it happens with every D50 III, or if it is just a certain percentage of them. I'd test my D50 III but I don't own any optical cables.

    Ending the Windows Audio Quality Debate

    It's been a while since I messed with Foobar2000. Are the stock settings fine? I installed SoX resampler and have it set like in the picture, or should I have different settings to upsample and downsample.

    Can I damage my amp in this situation?

    The part that confuses me is how there is an ESD pulse when I'm not in contact with the table or any electronics. I do not feel like I am zapping anything, and I don't hear any zaps.

    Ending the Windows Audio Quality Debate

    I have most of music in 44.1kHz, but most of the time when I listen to it, I am playing games or in a Discord call, which plays audio in 48kHz usually. For my situation, is it better to set my sample rate to 44.1, 48, 96, or 192? I saw the original post suggested to set it to 96k and another...

    Can I damage my amp in this situation?

    There can be that much ESD traveling through the air to affect the electronics? Since this has been happening, I've made sure to not be in contact with the table. Just have my feet on the floor to push my chair out. Having my humidifier on helps keep it from happening that often. Maybe some...

    Can I damage my amp in this situation?

    This is what I mean. I haven't experienced it happening when I have my headphones are on. Only when I have them off, on the table and I get up from my chair. I had a SMSL RAW-MDA1 that acted similarly, and I had to restart that device along with any audio apps that were playing. The Fiio K7 and...

    Can I damage my amp in this situation?

    Thanks. I noticed the weird behavior with my A50 III and I was worried I might have shorted something due to voltage still running through the inputs and 12V trigger, or just by having that voltage running while the amp is powered off. I've got another A50 III coming in to see if it behaves in...

    Can I damage my amp in this situation?

    I'm wondering if I can possibly damage my headphone amp if I cut off its power, but still have signals coming in through the input and 12V trigger. I'm currently using a D50 III/A50 III stack hooked up to a P50 power supply. I have the DAC output through both the RCA(speakers) and TRS(A50 III)...

    Topping D50 III Balanced DAC with EQ Review

    I believe any 5V/1A charger should work. Chargers with higher amp ratings should be fine.

    Topping D50 III Balanced DAC with EQ Review

    I've been trying to get get my PEQ to work, but Topping Tune doesn't seem to recognize my device. I followed the instructions and had my device disconnected when I installed it. After I reconnected the D50 III and open Topping Tune, the bottom of the app says it is connected, but doesn't...

    FiiO BTR17

    The FiiO BTR17 is out! FiiO provided some parameters for this device. Most of the tests seemed to be done in desktop mode, high gain, and with a 32Ω load. https://www.fiio.com/btr17_parameters Anybody here already order this? I'm waiting a little bit to see more reviews on this before deciding.

    AOSHIDA SMSL C200 Review (DAC & Amp)

    I'm not an expert in audio, but I'm pretty sure an USB isolator like the Topping HS02 could help with this. They're a bit expensive, but you can use it with any DAC/amp in the future. You can first get one and see if it solves your issue. If it doesn't, just return it. I recently purchased the...
