Should I send Topping EX5 to repair? Broken Topping device sending back to china for repair previous experiences and is it worth it.

I understand the practicality and economic considerations behind your point.

However, if you're concerned that something might break down and require shipping, and you factor that into your purchasing decision, I personally wouldn’t choose that specific device if I lacked confidence in its durability.

I recognize that random faults can happen, but if I already factored in shipping costs for repairs during the initial buying process, I would likely consider a different product.

Usually these cheaper Chinese DACs are bought by people with a budget. If I had the budget I would have bought the RME. I think if a person want to buy a cheaper range of topping and are not willing to spend so much this information would help in their purchasing decision, considering the warranty is only 1 year; they would not want a potentially expensive paper weight after that 1 year. Anything can break down I think its important to know what is the potential problems are now rather than later and you can save some money. I think your in a great financial position if you can afford to increase your budget but others might not be so fortunate.
