Review and Measurements of Topping D10 DAC

[vinaysharma76]

To maximize the potential of TOPPING D10. Use the TOPPING DX3 PRO DRIVERS

I am trying to install TOPPING DX3 PRO DRIVERS driver but my virus scanner is deleting this everytime reports as a threat? In reason for same?

I can install D10 driver perfectly though.

virus scanner is deleting this everytime reports as a threat

I think, drivers from Thesycon do not contain a virus in the conventional sense. During the installation process, they try to connect to the Internet, presumably to send some telemetry. Just block this attempt with a firewall if you fear for confidentiality.

WASAPI not only exclusive mode protocol. Most applications for audio output in Windows uses WASAPI Shared.

Right, there's a component for shared mode WASAPI as well. https://www.foobar2000.org/components/view/foo_out_wasapis

 

[Vosya]

for shared mode WASAPI

WASAPI Shared is essentially the default mode, without additional plugins. And not suitable for accurate, high-quality music playback. It is enough to delve into the contents of the article: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/desktop/CoreAudio/user-mode-audio-components
Frankly, foobar is also not the best tool for getting high-quality sound.

 

[AresHarvest]

Well no, it's not the default mode for foobar, which was what I was talking about initially. It needs the installation of a component, which I linked in the previous comment.

Remember the part where I referred to exclusive mode protocols, and you pointed out that WASAPI also has a shared mode aside from exclusive modes?

 

[Vosya]

WASAPI Shared, DirectSound, MM have the same data path and, in this sense, do not differ from each other. WASAPI Exclusive, Kernel Streaming, ASIO - fundamentally different from them.

To see there confirmation of the thesis: "The audio engine mixes the streams from these applications and plays the resulting mix through the hardware. [...] In contrast, if a client opens a stream in exclusive mode, the client has exclusive access to the audio hardware."?

It works. For best results use USB Audio Player PRO.

Yes, works well.. will suck some energy from phone though. I am looking for some OTG cable with additional power lead.
Sad topping not made any external power options. Too PC oriented.

Are you sure that one has wires for OTG wired?

This one (that's the one I posted before) has all you need. You simply plug your power source to the female micro USB connector.

Has anyone tried running this off an Android device using USB AUDIO PLAYER PRO? it's usb powered with no wall wart so I worry about it not getting enough juice from my phone. Thanks!

Thanks for the reply, dumb question, but how do I power it externally when it only has one usb input and no power input? Usb hub?

 

[odessamarin]

yes powered USB hub is an option. Or Y split with additionl power lead. See few post back.. we discussed it.
I plan to do one by my self.. will introduce power to good hifi usb cable
