    Sabaj D5 vs. SMSL M500 vs. Topping DX7 Pro: measurement comparison

    Hi RickSanchez and MediumRare: Happy New Year. I was bed bound sick for 3 weeks during Xmas. Hence the late report of the Sabaj D5. I received promptly.

    Sabaj D5 vs. SMSL M500 vs. Topping DX7 Pro: measurement comparison

    Yes indeed. It has a dedicated XLR input for 2 channel hifi. When I hooked up my previous dac magic, no sound. When I hook the same XLR to the power amp, really good sound. So I suspect either the sherbourn 2 channel XLR input don't work, or I have to push a button to activate it. Either way it...

    Sabaj D5 vs. SMSL M500 vs. Topping DX7 Pro: measurement comparison

    Rick: Thank you for your kind input. I am 99% certain I am going to buy the Sabaj D5. When I bought my speakers, I was contemplating Oppo 105 or 205. Because of my inability to connect properly, I halted any further investment. Now, 205 is going thru the roof. MY Sweden supplier recommended...
