Yes. The P4 is not very demanding, so most 12VDC supplies will work just fine.

Analog in is a rare thing these days for reasons beyond me. Everything needs at least one AUX input.

I own both brands, and IMO, SMSL makes great DACs, while Topping wins the prize for amplifiers - at least over the past few years. Both companies along with some others (Fosi, FiiO) chifi companies are producing excellent audio gear, and at a great value compared to just a few years ago. I...

I recently received my new P4. I was intrigued by its feature set, which was just what I was looking. However, what I've noticed is this thing is hot(gain). I have the gain set to 3dB and even at only 8:00 this thing is too loud for my near field listening use case. That doesn't allow me any...

It's been a long time since anyone put an FM receiver in product like this. :)

@Guddu - What an excellent review of this amplifier. Like more and more of the CiFi audio brands, Douk has expanded and IMPROVED their product line in many aspects over the past few years. They continue to do so. I have seriously looked at Douk's offerings in the past, and was intrigued when...

We always want to hear 'some' difference. Especially if we are trying to justify a purchase. Believe me, I do too. I've concluded it's simply expectation bias. We WANT to hear something different, so we make up some nuance of the music that we think we hear to reconcile it.

If you like the sound, that's all that matters. ;)

Thx. I was pretty sure that was the case, but wanted to be sure.

Are the two inputs on the PA5 II completely independent of each other?

Or, just buy from Amazon for easy returns. Sure you might pay a little more, but you know you'll never be out the total cost of the product. Make it Amazon's problem, not yours.

Great gear selections and placement minds think alike. :) Now I'm playing with the proper selection and size of a couple different glass risers to house the gear. I have a longer one in my 'other' office similar to yours that has come in handy over the years and works very well to keep things...

Yes, you got it. Near Field Listening. Typo corrected.

I just bought the Topping PA5 II amplifier. I had been following the discussion and reading other info about this amp. Knowing the more recently (last couple of years) in quality and spec improvements from this chi-fi company, I knew I couldn't go wrong. I performed a rather significant...

And they are?

Clarification: I meant to say "credit to my DAC", and not "credit to the DAC". I did not test or listen to the DAC in the AVR.

Picked up one of these today at a second hand store for $10. I've always been a little partial towards Sony's ES line. So I thought, what the heck. It looked clean enough, and I wasn't even sure if it worked! So I gambled $10 and won. Got it home, cleaned it up a bit. Dust was minimal...

I bought one about 5yrs ago. My version did do have the Toslink out, nor did I make the modd. I went looking for a good commercial MC cartridge, but alas they all either did not have enough gain, had significant noise, or were so expensive as to be unusable. After I got the Puffin dialed in...

Good information to know. Mine arrives tomorrow, so I will test. Normally, I only use one input on these type of DACs - USB. For now I intend to use the D6 vc, so will see how it behaves in roon. It may be device dependent too. I wonder how it will work with Ropieee? I'll reserve any more...

Thanks for the technical info on the CM noise and how it's dealt with. With regard to the SINAD race...how true. Diehards here are chasing an ever-diminishing SINAD ghost. :) I'll admit I have my moments of wanting to chase the numbers for numbers sake. At some point, we have to say to...
