    Topping DX5 II

    The DC thing is overblown here. Don’t care a whit about that. I’d like to see Topping do the fixes required and I’d like to hear a head to head comparison to RME ADI FS, my current DAC.

    Data, nice. 44deg C is 111 F. Not hot, not abnormal

    Topping DX5 II

    Yes, hot here has no context, just a random observation with zero data and no definition of what is hot.

    Connecting active crossover to integrated amp

    It won’t work. You need separate preamp/amp for this. Integrated is no bueno unless it has pre out/ in and then you’d still need another amp to actively bi amp

    Never damaged a speaker...

    Blown a few tweets and woofs, can’t say I’ve ever toasted a midrange. Launched a 15” AE driver with 14 mm Xmas outward so far it got stuck out and then it fried. Many more tweets than woofs. Hearing not great but typical for my age, am lucky

    Why an AC Power Cord cannot make a difference

    I do find it amazing seemingly sane individuals will spend tens of thousands of dollars for copper or silver wire with connectors on it. It mystifies me I must admit

    3 way active with real punch.. which way would you go.? Pro driver or .?

    I recently built some speakers using Faital Pro 12rs430. I really like them and can recommend them. High power handling, high Xmax, low Fs, efficiency not bad, I think 93db. Goes lower than most all 12 and 15" pro audio bass drivers. Bought them from European supplier to save bucks.

    Why use monoblocks?

    Sure do listen in a room. What I am suggesting can be easily measured on both counts, regardless of your opinion. Damping factor also depends on amp output resistance and resistance of load, which includes resistance of wire. With monoblock wire length therefore resistance can be minimized...

    Why use monoblocks?

    Better channel separation, higher damping factor are two reasons that come to mind instantly.
