There is no noteworthy difference in delay between DAC ->Sub and DAC->Amp->Sub.I thought the sub always needed to be connected the amplifier because of sound delay.

There should be absolutely zero difference. Both DACs measure transparent. Heck, you can most likely ditch the d10b and use the internal DAC of the AO200 and it will still sound identical. DACs don't influence the sound unless they are broken or certain filters or EQs are active.For those of you that are using this dac with headphones, worth the upgrade? I have a topping d10b that is connected to a speaker amp smsl ao200 to drive hifiMan He6se v2. What differences should I aspect replacing the dac?
Does that statement assume there are no additional DA / AD (or AD / DA) conversion cycles taking place in during the Amp portion of the chain?There is no noteworthy difference in delay between DAC ->Sub and DAC->Amp->Sub.
Yes. With Amp, I was referring to just an Amp.Does that statement assume there are no additional DA / AD (or AD / DA) conversion cycles taking place in during the Amp portion of the chain?
Yes.Would I be able to hook an active subwoofer such as the SVS 3000 Micro using the above mentioned method by doing the following:
[PC]--USB-->[Topping E50]-->TRS-->[Topping PA5 II]--Cable-->[Passive Speakers] &
[Subwoofer]--RCA-->[Topping E50]
E50 User Manual:Or would that only work with the E70(V) that has the ability to choose XLR+RCA Output while the E50 can only choose between TRS or RCA.
Thank you so much for the response. Haven't occurred to me to check the online manual, thank you for verifying it - much appreciated!Yes.
E50 User Manual:
I Ve red that the dac of the ao200 is horrible, at least is compatible with the ps5, the d10b isn't. Anyway why so many people buy expensive dac?Heck, you can most likely ditch the d10b and use the internal DAC of the AO200 and it will still sound identical
New firmware?
The D300 is a fully transparent DAC. It does not get any better on that front.Does it make sense to change SMS D300 to Topping E70V? Will this be a step up?
Unfortunately 1.07 is not present on topping website@ Vladetz: I received my TOPPING E70 VELVET with this firmware (v1.07)
Otherwise, much better than the original, the TOPPING RC-22 remote control ->
