    How many audio forums do you follow?

    Beyond ASR, I always check Archimago's Musings weekly columns. I only check Audiophile Style's "Album of the Evening" subforum looking for new music. I also check in on AVS Forums for my specific OLED and AV equipment subs.

    Audyssey's Next Generation of Room Correction (MultEQ-X)

    As a follow-up to this post, I did an "Ask Audyssey" question about the eventual Mac version of the app: "I have purchased and really like the new program for my Denon X6700H. I am a Mac user but this runs great in VM Fusion with Windows 11. When you do port this program to the macOS, will I...

    Audyssey's Next Generation of Room Correction (MultEQ-X)

    Just as a FYI, I am a Mac user on Monterey 12.1 on my iMac Pro (Intel-based) and have successfully used MultEQ-X via the free version of VMWare Fusion 12.2.1 virtualization and Windows 11. I too would rather have a Mac native program though.

    When did you decide to study STEM major in university? Tips for my daughter?

    I knew I loved mathematics in grade school, even had calculus by 8th grade. Went all through high school still loving math and all science. When in college as a math major, I never really got good counseling as to what I could do with math as a major. So mid-college I switched my major to...

    Need an opinion on the Genelec G Series (G Two vs G Three when paired with the F Two subwoofer)

    I have Genelec 8020Ds with a Genelec 7040 sub, corrected via REW , fed via XLRs from Topping DS7s on my desktop on IsoAcoustics stands. The sound is very satisfying. I had considered Genelec 7050 sub but under desk space was limited so thus the 7040. Desk space wise, the 8020s fit very nicely...

    Review and Measurements of Topping DX7s DAC and Headphone Amp

    Both the Topping DX7s and D50 DACs share the same issue of the right channel dropout after a few seconds when running a signal to the right channel only in REW. How can I run REW room correction for my setup? Is it possible to get accurate left/right files, or would a single summed L+R...

    HQplayer not converting PCM to DSD

    Also, choosing Auto rate family in the preferences can help lower the CPU load.

    HQplayer not converting PCM to DSD

    And I don't think you should be choosing DoP in the SDM Pack.

    Is the 9038 ESS hump the same thing that the THD compensation feature in the ESS DAC was to compensate for?

    Review and Measurements of Topping DX7s DAC and Headphone Amp

    Here's what I wrote about this back in September post #272 re my iMac via USB using DX7s: I also wanted to report on interesting findings on using Audirvana and HQPlayer/Roon on the DX7s via USB on an iMac. My music library is mostly ALAC 44.1/88.2/96/176/192. On Audirvana Plus (latest version)...

    Review and Measurements of Topping DX7s DAC and Headphone Amp

    Yeah, I couldn't see any way to do it in macOS High Sierra since the updater is an exe file. I used Parallels 13 with a Windows 10 virtual machine and it all went well.

    Review and Measurements of Topping DX7s DAC and Headphone Amp

    Just to update my earlier report, on the latest version of Audirvana Plus I can upsample all PCM to 705/768 and DSD 256 without any dropouts or clicks/pops. Nice!

    Review and Measurements of Topping DX7s DAC and Headphone Amp

    For my fellow Mac users, I updated the DX7s firmware (via Parallels) and after 3 days no longer have the USB disconnect issue. Also the auto sleep works correctly and wakes up as expected. Excellent!

    Mac user here on iMac and DX7s for over 3 months. I have had the same problems as @rickymiester and @mi-fu, and mi-fu's solution has worked for me also. I will watch with interest if Topping has any reply to rickymiester's inquiry. I also wanted to report on interesting findings on using...

    Review and Measurements of Topping DX7s DAC and Headphone Amp

    That is true, but all those defaults settings are the same settings available on the remote. Edit: Except for the factory reset setting, which can only be done using the volume button on power-up, AFAICT.

    Review and Measurements of Topping DX7s DAC and Headphone Amp

    I'm not sure what you mean about directional commands. With my Harmony remote, I can get to all the setup items mentioned in the manual. The commands on my remote are: Power Toggle Input Next Input Previous Line Headphone Line&Headphone FIR (for filter selection) Display (for display brightness)...

    Review and Measurements of Topping DX7s DAC and Headphone Amp

    I have a DX7s (without the remote) and all functions are accessible from the volume button. The instructions are in the manual. Having successfully tested all the volume button functions, I took an unused Logitech Harmony remote and added the Topping as a device. The Harmony remote works perfectly.
