Stop that, you stole my amp! Darn I like my SU-8 but that is a great looking stack
Wowww that's a pretty stack, looks much nicer than I would have thought
Monoprice 887 is the one.That the Massdrop 789 or the Monoprice 889?
Exactly the same width. Looks perfect.this is exactly the picture I was looking for, would you say it’s a perfect width match?

One possibility though is EMi/RFI, and ground loops from the PC USB getting in via the ground/data pins but that's easily measurable, and probably audible in some circumstances.The thing is, you will know if you have USB problems because your audio will be quite noticeably cutting out. The D70/D90 have built in power supplies that power the USB input too, which means it should not request any power from the PC's USB slot. Your USB cable should just be all digital signal with a ground. There will be nothing there for the iFi to even filter out, except for maybe some environment noise that the XMOS chip will ignore anyway. (would not affect the bits that the XMOS receives)
Basically, if you don't hear dropouts without the iFi, then there is nothing for the iFi to improve.
USB is a bit-perfect protocol, and when the bits are not perfect, it is likely to throw some errors or disconnect the device.
You should be able to find more reviews of iFi purifier products on this site, actually!

There were no issue. The difference is just phase and you will see it in time domain. Frequency response should be the same by design.Has Topping addressed the filter issue?
Unfortunately, BT 5.0 is all about range and stability. No improvement in sound quality (yet).Blue Tooth all thou not the preferred connection i have had 4,2 and 5.0 is a bigger improvement.
Interesting. Did you match the ADI-2 PRO to 4V (14 - 14.5dBu)?D90 (DSD512) does have an improvement over ADI-2 PRO fs..
(there is definitely a difference.. I think I can blind test and tell the difference)

Need some advice. I am currently using JDS O2+ODAC combo, connecting between my JBL LSR305 MKII and my PC. I also own a pair of HD6XX.
Was looking to do some upgrade to my DAC/Amp. Wondering if the Topping D90 (with a separate amp, probably THX AAA 789) is an overkill for my speakers and headphones or a Topping DX7 Pro would do just nice?
A topping DX7 Pro would do just nice, for your set-up. Anything more is overkill. I'd say, order one and don't look back. There will always be the next best thing on the horizon..Any advice please?
The DX7 Pro that Veri suggests would be hard to beat if you want an all-in-one option. It just depends on what you are looking to achieve in your upgrade. For instance what are your priorities for power, performance, features, and connections? Do you anticipate adding more headphones in the future? High impedance or low (as in IEM)? What is a comfortable budget range for you?Any advice please?
Well, I double checked my settings in the rme's menu. Its set to 19dbu.. and my volume is set to -3db.. so its output volume is around 16dbu..Unfortunately, BT 5.0 is all about range and stability. No improvement in sound quality (yet).
