Can't the filters and the new "modes" be changed via the remote? I believe the "FIR" button cycles through the filters.Although I never use it, the remote for my D90se has always worked fine too—although there’s not much it can do. I do agree that Topping doesn’t seem to emphasize their remote capabilities—perhaps something to reduce manufacturing costs in favor of maintaining affordable price points? Gustard’s remotes are fairly bare bones too. The remote for the ADI-2 is full-featured, which makes sense because it’s so feature-rich.
But in the case of the D90se, which is a pure DAC with no headphone amp, there isn’t much to fiddle with except for input sources, and for that the remote works fine. My only gripe with it is that its settings can only be accessed by turning it off and restarting it in settings mode—although I rarely touch the settings, it would still be nice if the filters, voltages and sound signatures could be changed on the fly.
Actually, I think you’re right! If I knew where the remote was I would test it out Honestly twiddling with filters and trying to concentrate enough to try to hear the differences gives me a life threatening OCD attack…Can't the filters and the new "modes" be changed via the remote?

Also, don't bother with the new "modes"-tried all 3 and couldn't discern any difference between them.Actually, I think you’re right!

I found the mere concept of them cheesy. They set an example for the industry by making an almost perfectly resolving DAC, and then they cave in and start adding phony colorations to it? Phooey!Also, don't bother with the new "modes"-tried all 3 and couldn't discern any difference between them.
It certainly doesn't make service easier, to have so many models.Looks like they’ve got a refresh of the DX7 pro, called the “DX7 Pro+” on deck for late August. How is this company managing all these new products in such a short period of time? Mixing and matching internal components perhaps?

They do definitely mix and match their designs. It is the intelligent way to do it.Looks like they’ve got a refresh of the DX7 pro, called the “DX7 Pro+” on deck for late August.

Yep, he answered a bunch of questions. I think he said he will try to stop by every week or other week now.I missed him, rats!

You can change the filters through the remote, yes. Just like all Topping remotes.Can't the filters and the new "modes" be changed via the remote? I believe the "FIR" button cycles through the filters.
There is basically no difference in most music. I have tested extensively even with my Aeons in well recorded tracks... 1 filter might clean up some high frequency spike slightly. That is about it. I would say there is no point in changing the filter unless you find listening fatiguing.Actually, I think you’re right!

I haven't had that experience with any of the Topping products that I own... I know that they had a few recent products with issues, but most of my stuff is 4+ years old now and it is fine.For all the shenanigans, Gordon Ramsay's key advice was trim menu to the best that customers could associate with the restaurant.
My current association with Topping brand is maximum SQ, minimum QA.
If QA stands for quality assurance, my Topping D90se is built seamlessly and has never given me a whiff of trouble! I would rephrase it to maximum SQ, minimum frills maybe—although mind does everything I need it to…For all the shenanigans, Gordon Ramsay's key advice was trim menu to the best that customers could associate with the restaurant.

Yes, click his profile ... to see recent posts...I haven’t seen Yang on this forum since the D90se came out. Have you?
If you’re referring to a lack of speaker terminals, I suspect they meant headphone amp, based on the front panel. It claims to have an NFCA amp, which further supports this. Aren’t most of their products really headphone-focused?It certainly doesn't make service easier, to have so many models.
BTW: The cited DX7 Pro+ seems to be a DAC/preamp (see its back panel):

Already did! He took quite a hiatus from here awhile back.Yes, click his profile ... to see recent posts...
Even in this very thread here...
Yes, but not every potential customer must know about this, so calling it a DAC/Amp can be misleading.If you’re referring to a lack of speaker terminals, I suspect they meant headphone amp, based on the front panel.

Some of his posts last few days below, after clicking his profile.Already did! He took quite a hiatus from here awhile back.
yes, certainly....If the E30 doesn't, it's unlikely E30 ii will do 48kDSD. (a format that can't even be purchased anywhere.. right?)
So, just to close the loop on this (at least from my perspective).....What is your understanding for how out of warranty units should be handled (I assume there would be some type of charge)? Also, any chance Topping can work with Apos to improve Apos support's response time?
FWIW - I have sent these same questions to Apos support a couple days ago and I am hoping to receive some type of response from them.
So what happened? I have an E30 and the optical input has some issues.Yeah I also hated the fact that they silently swapped out the S/PDIF receiver chip in the E30.
I bought the unit because of the good review on this site and was disappointed to find out it has Toslink issues...
Topping produced the E30 II. I too have an E30 with "Toslink issues ". The new model appears to correct these "issues"So what happened?
Give a quote from the manufacturer on this, including what exactly THIS is due to.Topping produced the E30 II. The new model appears to correct these "issues"
