1 bit DAC launched by TOPPING

Not comparable,different type of devices.
But even performance-wise, if Topping sticks to the number chasing won't be higher than -115db THD+N.
So,115db vs 87db SINAD is abysmal.
Price won't be comparable too I imagine,probably close to one grand if I have learned Topping's policy by now.
WiiM Pro Plus has a decent DAC actualy not a problem its Sinad is 114dB :) ,the normal WiiM not so much .

It only lacks balanced out ,
 
that PCB reminds me of those absurd tda1543 dacs that would use 8 or some other multiple of the chips. Topping already make some fantastic stuff though, I guess they are just trying to hit all those market segments.
 
I was responding to:

“If we can finally have a DAC with 10 band Peq at an affordable price it would finally be real progress”

The WiiM Pro Plus is a DAC with (upcoming) 10 band PEQ. You get a streamer thrown in for free! But you can use it just as a DAC.

Right now, if you want a transparent DAC with 10 band PEQ, and presuming WiiM manage to include this update, the Pro Plus is the only game in town, unless you want to spend silly money.
I stand corrected though,all this naming taken by the gaming industry is confusing!

I'm gonna bet WiiM will put out an all-in-one-box that includes HDMI-ARC, balanced out and PEQ with excellent enough numbers before Topping or SMSL wakes up from their dreams of chasing SINAD.
 
I may be misunderstanding.

Sounds like this is a DSD DAC with DSP (PEQ). Firstly, there are too many TLAs.

I didn't think you could apply DSP to DSD signal. What did I miss?

Thanks for clarifying.
 
I remember a Technics MASH player where sound was chopped up somehow, audible when you listening to the common fading in the end of songs. Like that "robot-like speech" digital distortion.
I've had two basic MASH players from the late 90's here, one actually a five disc changer from the HD70 mini system currently in storage and the other, the SL-PS670 player, again with the simpler and less spectacular MASH decoder than the more advanced 770 model had. Both to me sounded excellent and no issue with atmosphere or fade/reverb 'tail's' being reproduced properly. Only issue with the 670 was sticky grease on the laser sled runners causing a jump twenty seconds or so in on the first disc to be played when the laser carriage was first pulled away from the disc start position - a good clean of the track and thread sorted it...
 
The D50s has usb, coax, optical, & BT in and RCA out, plus a barrel jack port for extra power. Adding PEQ and XLR out would be an endgame DAC for a lot of people, but it would need to be bigger than its predecessors.
