Hi all. I'm looking to step up my streamer game. Currently I have volumio on a Pi4 out over USB to my Rotel RA-1592. But volumio is really frustrating me so time to move on. My sources are - Local FLAC files over USB ssd - Spotify and Tidal over wifi - Optical out from the tv Within budget...

Hello! I currently have a Topping E30 DAC, with an L30 amp. I'm quite happy with them. What I'm not happy with are my 20-year old, $20, 2.1 channel computer speakers. When I listen to music, I use my headphones. However, it would be nice to be able to have decent audio at moderate volumes for...

Hi! Since some ongoing discussion in this thread I wanted to create a poll where people could vote and then share their experiences. I have two LA90D in monoblock configuration, figuring these would be the last amps I'd ever need in my lifetime if vented well. Because of the above mentioned...

I recently bought a Hifiman XS, sadly it was a bit of a hasty decision since the headphones were on sale. I didn’t check whether my interface (Scarlett 8i6 3rd Gen) is powerful enough to efficiently power the headphone (I would use it for music production with Sonarwork (Flattening-EQ...

Fiio Q11 vs Topping DX1 (For Beyer DT 770 Pro 80 Ohm)? I am leaning towards Fiio Q11 due to it working with my phone. Anyway, I'll go with the DX1 if the Sound Quality is significantly better. I listen to lots of old recording on m1 macbook air (like the 2023 Karajan's 9 Symphonies Remaster)...

Hi, I have a similar problem with Topping L30 as in this topic and I'm going insane from it. To wrap it up shortly. I have Topping L30 and E30 and I have been using it without a problem since release (2012 SN). Recently I moved to new apartment and from first second trying out my gear I heard...

Kindly help me understand why my setup cannot power vintage bookshelf speakers. I couldn’t find an answer in previous similar thread -https://www.audiosciencereview.com/forum/index.php?threads/topping-d90-a90-with-power-amp-and-subwoofers.30702/ Mac to D10 to Topping A90 to XLR output to...

I asked this on the newly released PA7 plus thread but got no answers. I’m putting it here if anyone has a clue. The PA7 plus power brick is specified at 52V/6.5A while LA90/LA90D were released with 64V/4A power brick. I have 2 LA90 in mono with a Polk r700 (89db but not exactly 8ohms) and I’ll...

Hello, I recently bought a new DAC (Topping D90SE) but I'm having a hard time making it work properly at 24 or 32 bit via the Windows Sounds settings, it sounds super noisy at any kHz (from 44.1kHz to 384kHz) and also buying a Ground Loop Isolator (Topping HS01) didn't resolve the problem...

The question is serious, and is aimed at anyone with sensible hypotheses. In a market so saturated with dacs of all kinds, where a new photocopied dac comes out every month, all with the same functions, all with the same characteristics, how is it possible that none of the low-cost Chinese...

Hi, Thank you for checking out this thread first of all. I have Topping D90 MQA DAC, which started having problems today. It worked perfectly fine until I shut down my PC earlier today. After several hours later, I boot PC and this issue appeared. I tried pretty much I could think of and find...

Recently announced. https://apos.audio/products/topping-mx3s-built-in-bluetooth-receiver-dac-headphone-amp-digital-amplifier I’d love to see a balanced version of this model.

I just got my Topping MX5, after applying power to it, it immediately displayed "Err PA". I tried to get into Setup mode but was not successful. I tired the following: 1.Per the Topping User Manual, I pressed the front panel Volume knob before connecting to power (hoping to Enter Set Mode)...

Been all over the web on this one. OUTSIDE diameter of the 5 vdc connectors are definitely 5.5mm, but what’s the INSIDE/PIN diameter? 2.1, or 2.5mm? I’d like to order a “better” connector (like Oyaide from Ghent Audio) with a shielded cable instead of using the 20 gauge 2-lead zip cord...

So, will try keep this as TLDR friendly as possible. In 2019 I bought a Schiit stack combo of Magni and Modi + the MMX 300 600Ω and couldn't get the Modi to work, even with a replacement they sent for me to try, whether it was powered by USB or Socket. I replaced it with a Topping D50 (not S)...

Hey, I'm currently using a vintage NAD 3020B as a headphone and speaker amplifier paired with a topping d10s, I have many pairs of headphones, my main pair being the hd 6xx. I feel like I could be sacrificing some sound quality using this unit as an amplifier for my headphones and was thinking...

Hello everyone! I am a huge fan of this forum and many of my purchasing decisions were influenced by it - And so far, I am really happy! I usually stream to my MiniDSP SHD, connected to a Hypex nCore Amp via XLR and KEF R3, which works great. But sometimes, I like to listen to Vinyl. My...

What’s your endgame gear for PC Gaming? Im currently using a Topping D90SE DAC, Topping A90D Amp, Blue Yeti Pro Mic, & HD800S Headphones, but I’m always curious to try new headphones / potential upgrades. Anyone want to share their current setup or have any suggestions for something new to try...

Is there a way to turn off the LCD on the Topping D10 Balanced? I found that disabling the "TOPPING USB DAC" device under "Topping USB Audio Devices" in Device Manager kinda works, the LCD will display 3 dashes for about 1 minute and then only a dot, not very practical and only useful when not...

I have a topping DX3 pro - I've just used it to connect to my laptop via USB and then used the aux out on the front to connect it to headphones. Now I am getting a set of Kanto YU4 speakers which have RCA in and aux in on them. What's the bets way to connect the Kanto speakers to the DX 3 pro...
