    Any Balanced S/PDIF DACs that are similar to TOPPING D10B, but S/PDIF instead of USB input?

    For me, the TOPPING D10 Balanced (D10B) is the perfect DAC for connecting my computers — USB input (only), Balanced output + S/PDIF output, frequency display, and nothing else!!! And as Amir noted in their review of the D10B, it "comes in my favorite USB DAC package". Now I am looking for...

    Anyone knows how the Topping E8xE-Pre performs?

    I am debating whether to get the Topping E2x2 OTG or the E8x8-Pre. Is the $250 price difference on Amazon justified? (The E2xE OTG is $200, while the E8x8-Pre is $450.) I haven't found any reviews of the E8x8, which makes it hard for me to commit to it. However, the extra ADAT out, secondary...

    Doubts about Topping's I2S pinout and whether an HDMI 1.4 cable is suitable.

    Hello. I have a question about the Topping I2S pinout and whether it will match, or modifications will have to be made, with that of the DDC Audio-GD DI24HE. Audio-GD uses the standard HDMI pinout, but I can't find information on what Topping does (in this case it would be the I2S of a DX9). I...
