Hi all, this Topping unit seems good, it is over twice the price as the SMSL SU-9 (in AUS), is it twice as good or just works properly as intended?
I have just set up the SMSL SU-9 yesterday, and waiting from a reply from Shenzhang Audio to see if it's had the 3rd harmonic distortion problem (I joined to ask some questions
here).
I'm also planning on running either DAC as a DAC only setup to active monitors, similar to above I'm not sure if there is a proper way to set the gain control on the rear of the speakers vs the DAC volume? I notice some hiss if standing close to the tweeters but probably get that anyway.
I still want to have a good range of volume using the phone/app as control (for now cast to CCA until I build a RPi4 and perhaps Volumio for direct streaming). I don't think the preamp ON mode is viable given lack of range and risk of very high volume (not a desktop setup with amp).
HS80M Input Sensitivity/Impedance = -10 dBu/ 10 k-ohms
Using XLR balanced outputs.
Thanks in advance!
