The days are getting shorter and the nights are closing in, so it's project time... I want to plug my IEMs into my EX5. I have Moondrop Starfields with a 2.5mm balanced cable from Linsoul - the Starfields are usually connected to my Earstudio ES100. I'd like to use the 4 pole XLR connection...

I have a Topping EX5 which I use as both a headphone amplifier for my Sennheiser HD660s and as a pre-amp for my iLoud MTM monitors. I switch between the headphone and monitor outputs using the headphone and line out buttons on a Topping RC21 remote. On my Windows 11 PC, I use eAPO with the...

Is anyone else running it? I've had it installed for a week with no issues (in place upgrade from Windows 10 21H2). I'm struggling a little with the new Start Menu, but it all seems to work fine from an audio perspective (ASIO drivers, eAPO, PEACE, MusicBee, Spotify, etc.).

I recently added a SPDIF/TOSLink Bracket adapter to my PC (Gigabyte motherboard with Realtek HD Audio) to connect my Topping D50s via optical. I have a ground loop issue and had been using a cheap USB isolator to resolve the issue, but thought I'd give optical a try as well. (also frees up the...
