Hello, do you know any Topping D50 alternative(meaning that they measure similar or better than d50)? Maybe with also XLR outputs and in the <300€ range?
Not for better sound obviously, but because I had a D30, then bought a D50 because I fund it at 150€ during prime day so it was a good price, but it is somewhat more sensitive to USB noises coming from the desktop PC than the D30 and I have a hiss coming out of my speakers now.
So I want to change it to something else since everything I tried to solve the hiss didn't work and since with d30 the hiss wasn't there I hope that with other DAC, maybe balanced, it won't be there either.
D50s is not a choice due to this. Maybe D70, but are there better alternatives to D70 that I need to know of?

It seems right now the top three DACs all come with a headphone amp. So go for the one with the best feature set for you or wait a few more weeks for the next round of DAC only devices using the latest chips. Check prices on 11/11 and ask Apos to price match the best one.
Nothing wrong, it was just that I found the D50 for just 50 euro more and I made the change selling the D30 for 90. But yes, I created a problem which didn't exist before
