Shenzhenaudio Topping EX5 Review (DAC and Headphone Amplifier)

[Sensation]

I wish there was a tube headphone amp with a linear in the topping.

You will need an amplifier with a hybrid balanced stage, such as the LOXJIE P20.

How to replace the internal opamp and
Multiple tube compatible products.

Also, if a product with built-in power comes out, it will be loved by many people.

The size of the A30 Pro seems to be appropriate.

그 테스트는 일반적으로 대시보드가 전체 출력 수준에서 측정되지 않을 때만 수행되었습니다. 또는 300Ohm 헤드폰 출력 THD+N 대 레벨을 볼 수 있습니다.

Hello

I am trying to XLR connection between TOPPING EX5 and LOXJIE P20.

TOPPING EX5 does not have a DAC mode.

Is there any problem connecting TOPPING EX5 and LOXJIE P20?

Do you recommend this connection?

I'm worried because there is no DAC mode.

저는 2x4HD를 가지고 있으며 DAC와 스테레오 앰프(아날로그 경로 사용) 사이에서 사용하는 것을 좋아하지 않습니다. 일단 Gustard x16이 앰프로 직접 연결된다는 소식을 듣고 내가 원하는 것이 무엇인지 알게 되었습니다.

토핑이 minidsp SHD보다 더 나은 솔루션과 더 저렴한 가격으로 나왔으면 하는 바램입니다.
: )

이미 토핑 E30, L30, D30Pro를 구매했습니다. SHD같은 기기로 토핑이 나온다면 또 토핑고객이 될겁니다.

Just use max volume. You should be just fine.

TOPPING EX5 XLR volume to 100?

And do you adjust the volume on the LOXJIE P20?

Is there no deterioration in sound quality even after going through the volume twice like this?

Manufacturer- Channel Crosstalk: -85 @1kHz
Here:

-98,3.

Is the manufacturer disingenuous? In order not to compete with your other products? And in fact, Crosstalk is not much worse for example topping d30pro?)
It is a pity that Amir does not measure Crosstalk.

Personally, these -85s stopped me from buying this device ...

Should be fine. My Gustard X16 has no DAC mode either and measured by Amir just fine.

OK ^^GOOD!

Can I see pictures of your Gustad and P20?

I don't have P20.

I have paired the X16 with Topping L30, Sabaj a10h, and Gustard H16. All sounded fine so far.

-85dB crosstalk is not that bad.

Not bad, but not good either.

In the topping ex 5 we could put a better power supply for children ??? If yes what do you suggest ???

 

[Sensation]

XLR

1 - Ground
2 - Hot
3 - Cold

Is it like this?

Is there any problem when connecting topping ex5 and Adam T5V?

I have my EX5 set up as a heaphone amp for my computer AND also a preamp feeding an Outlaw 5000 amp that's powering two Magnepan MMG's. Ive used the MMG's with a NAD M10 and with the Outlaw and a Denon 4400 for the preamp. The Sound from the EX5 is far superior. I use RCA y cables and feed a subwoofer off the EX5 also. A very versatile piece of equipment that sounds fantastic.

I just bough this DAC/AMP to drive my new Hifiman Sundara with the 6.35mm output, I set the output in O-H mode (Headphone amp Output only, so say the description...) but there is no output.... So, I check with a pair of cellphone headphone and it works. I also set the hi gain mode (HI). Can you help me?

OK ^^GOOD!

Here's mine. Pairing these are okay imho. Listened them using Sundara and HD600 and I prefer the latter. Sound is more balanced with the Senn while the Sundara sounded kinda bright.

Wow, I'm going to buy and combine my topping ex5 and LOXJIE P20.

What kind of vacuum tube are you using?

GE JAN 5670W

I bought the P20 used and according from the original owner...the tubes came stock. I guess you can look it up.

나는 원래 소유자에서 사용하고 사용하는 P20을 샀다 ... 튜브가 스톡되었습니다. 난 당신이 그것을 볼 수 있을 것 같아요.

당신은 rca 연결을 했습니까?
아니면 XLr를 연결했습니까?
