Hi G-rig and Welcome to ASR. If you don’t mind please refrain from using the term Chi-Fi in the future. We have a global audience and many take offense to this term. Thank you for your understanding.Still waiting on my Chi-Fi refund from Amazon - they got to send it back to China first
never again haha
Ah ok no worries. I thought it was a common term and more funny than offensive but that's fair enoughHi G-rig and Welcome to ASR.

Just a question, what shall we understand your phrase with "... almost 70% sound pleasure compared to ..."? Define 70% sound ... please!Once more astonished by this sub 1K DAC. Setting it for pure DAC (no pre amp) XLR output only, Bluetooth off, FTIR 7 for PCM and 5V got me almost 70% sound pleasure compared to my 13 times more expensive Accuphase DC950 that uses two D90SE chips one for each channel and a beefy power supply.
Accuphase also do not have MQA, Bluetooth, DSD1024 via I2S and PCM 32/768. Chinese Hi End Is top notch. And for 900 bucks!
I was wondering the same. How you come with a 70% rating number?Just a question, what shall we understand your phrase with "... almost 70% sound pleasure compared to ..."? Define 70% sound ... please!
Just confirmation bias, anchoring bias and maybe a smattering of false consensus effect then! Don’t worry, none of us are immune (unless we get all scientific and abx our observations!).Just trying to compare soundstage, detail definition and physical presence of the musicians and emphasizing how this D90SE is good compared to Accuphase top notch. Not any scientific measurement used here.

Not the same model, but here's a data point.How does his Accuphase measure?
Only if they could add a tubed class A analog output. !!!!! All chipped music is a no no.Once again, Topping has demonstrated their masterful engineering.
I just wish they used a more visually pleasing display font. Sans-serif would be good.
Great idea-ruin SOTA DAC performance with a distortion-producing class A tube stage...brilliantOnly if they could add a tubed class A analog output. !!!!! All chipped music is a no no.
