All,
Before you start typing words like "brain", "imagination", please save your energy. I won't response to such replies.
I have done multiple online blind tests, done multiple ABX tests, and a coupe of DAC vs DAC double blind tests. So, please save the lectures about voltage match comparisons. See https://www.audiosciencereview.com/...tracking-my-listening-tests.24364/post-822052 for more details.
Thanks in advance.
I just got a brand new Topping d30pro. It sounded not as clean as my well used Gustard X16. Not sure how exactly to describe it. X16 just sounds right. D30pro is OK, but doesn't give me the "wow" I get from x16. This reminded me of the same feelings I got when the Gustard x16 was brand new and I compared to the well uses Topping E30. E30 sounded cleaner at that time.
Both X16 and d30pro measured transparent per Amir.
I measured both too and don't see anything obvious other than 3Khz tone. X16 is cleaner around the fundamental than d30pro. But, I don't really think this is the reason. See the comparison chart at

What other possibilities are there?
Thanks!
