Not true :flac>LDAC=indistinguishable from bit perfect flac.
Perhaps you didn't read my post. Playing flac files (I don't play any inferior files, ever) via LDAC to HP yields output identical to bitperfect from flac to me. YMMV.Not true :

Is LDAC lossy or bit-perfect for 44.1kHz/16bit (Red Book CD) files?
Looking over my collection, I have quite a few 16/44 FLAC files that are over 990Kbps. 3 Doors Down "The Better Life": Duck and Run: 1050Kbps Better Life: 1032Kbps Down Poison: 1015Kbps Smack: 1067Kbps So I Need You: 1000Kbps That's 5 on just one album. Out of curiosity I tried to 7Zip...www.audiosciencereview.com
… and the effect of combining lossy spotify mp3 with this lossy LDAC transmission gonna be -1 (+) -1 = -3.
This is the main reason I dont like lossy transmission or lossy sources. Combined they are terrible . And there is no need for it 2023.
Maybe the sound quality will be good enough for muzak or when exercising?
If its good enough , then its fine for you.Perhaps you didn't read my post. Playing flac files (I don't play any inferior files, ever) via LDAC to HP yields output identical to bitperfect from flac to me. YMMV.
Well, you continue to claim mp3 through LDAC yields poor SQ-possibly but don't discount the accuracy of flac files via LDAC. Have you listened to flac files via LDAC? If not try it-you may be shocked to discover you cannot discern a difference from bitperfect flac.If its good enough , then its fine for you.![]()
Why?At the moment, yes.
Because Topping as it is now is not capable of making something like that.Why?
No, no, no, no! You definitely need this DAC!I can't help but feel that they must be cannibalising sales of their own products. Too many products with not enough to differentiate between them with too many product ranges often confusingly named. If I want to buy a top line smsl do I buy the su-10, the d400ex or the d400es. what the difference bwteen the dio range and d range. What amp do I pair wth the d400 series or indeed the su series.
Topping are producing matching stacks but apparently this doesnt really shift that far from e70/l70 combo so .... i'm tempted by the nice display but beyond that i gain nothing. Its all getting very confusing and causes me to think mebbe i'll stick with what I have as its more than good enough. I'll wait for the next iteration or indeed the one after that. Their R&D costs must be through the roof.
Topping, please build an integrated amp with all of this wonderful stuff in one case, one display, one plug and a DSP module with Room EQ.
It should be MX5s then MX7s would be SOTA.Topping, please build an integrated amp with all of this wonderful stuff in one case, one display, one plug and a DSP module with Room EQ.
$1500 - $2000After seeing their top of the line stuff without all of those features and the price that they are, how much are you willing to spend for Topping to come up with a device you are proposing?
$1500 - $2000
That would be my main question here, how much is it going to cost? Would they be able to pull it off at affordable price? Do they want to?After seeing their top of the line stuff without all of those features and the price that they are, how much are you willing to spend for Topping to come up with a device you are proposing?
