A question about the Apple CCK USB 3.0 adapter, if I connect a charger to the adapter while connected to my DAC will it introduce any noise, I have another USB-C dongle from DDHifi which support simultaneous charging but it is very noisy when I connect the charger making the audio unlistenable.

No need for proof I also have it its certainly thin sounding with a metallic timbre, countless other ppl have the same impressions.

Anyone paired the A90D with Hifiman HE1000v2? will be great if you can share your impressions.

Isn't V2.4 the latest version?

The ultimate test is how we hear it, an instrument in a lab can never replace a human ear, and the bright nature of ESS dac chips is unanimously accepted than otherwise, having said that no issues with people having other opinions.

See most ESS chip based dacs have a slight bright signature to them if compared to R2R/multibit solutions or even AKM chips (maybe not all), this is a well known thing so no point in debating it, and my ears tell me that too, having said that it can be a default ESS tuning i am not sure to what...

Connecting to my Laptop via USB solved the issue.

I don't have a HD600 but do have a HD6XX, I think its good except the usual ESS chip sharpness, apart from that didn't notice any shortcomings *but* Sennheiser HD6xx series is known to pair excellently with OTL tube amps like Darkvoice 336 ot Xduoo TA-26, if you have a chance to audtion I would...

From my post I tried that as well and it didn't work, Ill try the USB option later, let's hope it works.

Whatever it is, I don't notice this in the A90D or D90LE, so I guess cost has something to do with it.

Yes, kind of a vibration more than a shock, I still feel it after I touch the unit, but the intensity becomes less a bit (I think), but still this should not happen, looks like a design issue or cost cutting?? doesn't look good on Toppings part either way, at least they should not compormise on...

Only bit concerned that it can damage the headphones, am currently using my phone as source so I guess will have to wait till I get my streamer.

Anyone else getting a (very light) electric shock when touching the DX3 Pro+ while connected to the A/C mains? I changed the power supply to another 15v 3-pin (grounded) one but it still happens, my other Topping gears like A90D and D90LE doesn't have this issue.
