Guys, you really need to grow up.
@amirm does probably have a life... First, he measures what he gets and then, takes the time needed to do so.

Your very first post on the forum is to shout a demand of impatience at the site host? Did you stomp your foot too?

You need Windows 10 VM running on your Mac. This one is very easy https://www.parallels.com/eu/products/desktop/trial/
Guys, quick question, I have mine for a few weeks already and noticed something odd.
First, I couldn't set it to 32 bit, but after the firmware update I found here that's fixed.
But an old problem persists: if I set if for 352800 or 384000 Hz I get a regular pop noise if anything is playing (regardless the bit rate I set).
Any ideas of what could be going on? Anyone noticed the same?
It's not like 192kHz is not enough, but I just wanted to know what's going on.

I'd say both are good, but the topping doesn't do mqa right, so that could be something that could help you choose. Otherwise, what I've heard so far is that the topping can sound slightly better, so if you're indifferent to mqa maybe go for it if there isn't much of a price difference

I have the same HW version and MQA works fine. I suggest do a hard reset. Power off then on while pressing in the volume knob I think
Thank you for your response.
I did a hard reset and then reinstalled the up date .
This time it worked -MQA now functioning
A ROON dac -M500 issue.
ROON does not recognize the SMSL M500 as a device and is not listed in the approved devices from a variety of DAC manufacturers : BUT the DAC is functional and I am able to play music , but I am assuming not optimised for the M500 , maybe just generic settings.
Have I missed something?
Thank you

It is not issue and it doesn't need to be in recognized list ( nothing there as approved list ).
For best sound install M500 driver and use it ASIO driver in roon for M500.
I have been considering a vibration isolation systems for my M500.
Some really expensive pads available , so rather than spends thousands -yes thousands of $ on TungstenGrooves !!!!!! I conceived this tweak.
A suspension trampoline .
Basically its 3 shot glasses with elastic bands in 2 directions , with a small platform-made up of coins super glued together at the intersection of the elastic bands.
I found 3 glasses to be optimal and once positioned under the M500- by trial and error , 6 degrees of freedom was achieved for the supported DAC.
Now I'm not very good at remembering sound , but I felt there was a real significant clarity improvement and I will be keeping them for now.
Of course they look heath Robinson , but for the time being it is the improvement in sound that I am pursuing

It is cold and okay in close cabinet
There is no problem with the M500 even if the power is always on. The fever is not great either.
However, continuous display display will cause burn-in on the liquid crystal panel. Please be aware of that.
In that respect, Topping's DAC can be set to automatically turn off the display when there is no input signal, so there is no need to worry about burn-in.
