    Topping G5 Review (Portable DAC & HP Amp)

    I just tried it with my Sony TV and phone. The range with TV is terrible - just around 3-4 meters at line of sight. With my phone, the range is better. No dropouts at around 10-12 meters with some obstruction. I haven’t tested the maximum range though.

    Topping G5 Review (Portable DAC & HP Amp)

    Sounds warmer. Doesn’t sound clinical at all. It doesn’t have the typical ESS harshness. The DAC chip in it can finally compete with the velvety sound of DAC chips from other manufacturers! Just kidding… Seriously, it drives my HD6xx really loud even at medium gain. I haven’t use it yet with...

    Topping G5 Review (Portable DAC & HP Amp)

    Most of what I listen to is 16/44.1k I will STILL buy the G5 because of my use case BUT… I believe that manufacturers must prioritize achieving the ff 1. 20Hz-20kHz flat freq response. I can’t hear anything beyond 14-15kHz but OTHERS surely can 2. SINAD of 100dB or so whatever value is proven...

    Topping G5

    I set my expectation lower for a portable dac/amp combo. I’m not expecting it to be within the top-10 of THD-N ranking list. Still solid specs for me. Not TOTL but solid.

    Unusual power issue with Schiit Heresy.

    Glad to know that Schiit is doing something about the issue. I hope they look at it more closely. Just want to share. Someone on Reddit reported that his Heresy "blew up" on him. The company sent him a new Heresy but that new amp "blew up" on him again. (2) Schiit Heresy "blew up" on me, TWICE...

    Topping USB Input/Windows 10 Issue - Possible Driver Issue

    Long time lurker, first-time poster here. I also own a DX7 Pro. It was purchased more than a year ago and was very happy with it. USB input was working on my Win10 and Win7 machines and android phone and tablet. Then, it suddenly stopped working with all of them (Win7/10 PC and android devices)...
