    Topping G5 Review (Portable DAC & HP Amp)

    Some $100 DAC support it so why not paying a little bit more for a $300 DAC/AMP if the chip support it. :)

    The DAC chip datasheet list hardware MQA decoding but Topping G5 no. It is an hidden feature or something is not implemented anywhere on the board ?

    Review and Measurements of Purifi 1ET400A Amplifier

    Maybe another way that can reuse some component I have (Shield TV / HD Vertex). I dont know if shield will work with minidsp.. and how to process audio correctly on the PC (direct 7.1 to 5.1 or 2.1 for Roon). That's the idea... if someone can comment on possible issue it will help.

    Topping E30 DAC Review

    I've the same issue of popping noise when changing sample rate or power management. I'm using RoPieee XL (Linux) with Roon. I've partially fixed it by upsampling to the same sample rate instead of x2 to avoid that during playback. It will be great if a firmware fix that issue.
