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 differenceHi.
Topping DX7s vs New SMSL M500, which is best buy right now ?
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 thinkI have performed the software update 1.08 and now I am unable to get MQA to function ?
SW 1.5 HW 1.2
Thank you for your response.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
It is not issue and it doesn't need to be in recognized list ( nothing there as approved list ).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 cold and okay in close cabinetHello all. I'm wondering how hot this DAC runs if left always on. I'd like to just use it as a DAC for a speaker system, and possibly keep it in an enclosed cabinet, always on.
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
There is no problem with the M500 even if the power is always on. The fever is not great either.Hello all. I'm wondering how hot this DAC runs if left always on. I'd like to just use it as a DAC for a speaker system, and possibly keep it in an enclosed cabinet, always on.
