Hello,

Windows 10, asrock b450. I recently bought the topping.
S3 is very important to me, I've been a happy steinberg ur44 user for years and that device worked perfectly with S3 due to the excellent yamaha usb drivers.

I had major troubles when it was on usb 3, I now have it on usb 2.0 with exclusive mode off and I turned 'allow this device to turn off' to OFF. It works ok.

Putting the pc to sleep for a short while seems to work, upon wake all audio works but when i put it to sleep while my mp3 player wacup is still playing, i have to restart wacup. This used to work perfectly with my previous dac (steinberg ur44), upon wake it happily resumed playing. It may seem a lot to ask but i just want good s3, not too much to ask i hope, i remember the days when i was looking for a good audio card and most of it wasn't even usable because of ****** drivers.

So i'm asking help to find a dac / headphone amp that works perfectly with s3.

Possible candates: ?

SMSL C200
JDS Labs Atom DAC+
Schiit Modi 3+
AUNE X1S PRO
Fosi Audio ZH3
iFi Zen DAC V3 (though i think its ugly :) )

Thank you.

please help, the topping is not stable with S3. After sleep not all audio works, sometimes no system sounds, sometimes no playback from winamp/wacup with asio or wasapi.
