Topping M62 thread

[Skittle8336]

Has anyone had the chance to try this yet?

The specs are crazy, and nothing else in this price range comes close.
I’m really hoping they release a desktop version with similar features, because having a 4-band EQ on the inputs, a 10-band PEQ on the outputs, and 88 dB of gain is unheard of even in interfaces that cost three or four times as much.

Looks pretty neat. But is the battery swappable?

Have one on my desk.
Looks awesome.
Measures the same (so far).

Review is coming soon...

 

[Rja4000]

Doesn't seem so.

 

[Rja4000]

Pre-read...

ADC SINAD - Mic inputs 1+2, 0dB gain, 48kHz, Un-weighted
Level here is 2.139 Vrms (8.8 dBu)

Same at -60dBFS

So dynamic range is >118.5dB unweigthed


More to come...

 

[Rja4000]

EIN @Max gain, 150 ohm, 20°C, 20Hz-20kHz

Note that EIN @60dB and even @50dB gain is identical,
so the huge 88dB gain is probably a more traditionnal gain with an additional "push" in digital domain.
Still very respectable though.

Looks great!
How does the M62 compare to the RME ADI-2 Pro FSR?

 

[Rja4000]

It's a completely different device.
The ADI-2 doesn't have a mic input, but it has multiple digital inputs and outputs.
It also has a lot of useful display and diagnostic tools.
It's a true Swiss knife for studio use.
The M62 is meant as a mobile interface.
Two completely different use cases.

 

[Sonic-Wall]

Yes, I know.
I was just referring to the ADC/DAC and PEQ.
Thanks

Hello, Rja4000!
I'm looking to replace my interface for measurements and am hoping to find something that can be used even slightly above 20 kHz.
Could you tell from your tests if the ADC and/or DAC in the M62 reach well beyond 20 kHz (using adequate sampling rates) or if they always are LP-filtered around 20 kHz?

BTW I'm used to using 48 kHz because my Mac seems happiest there, but perhaps I can coax it into working with higher sampling rates.

I really can't understand why they didn't make the line in Hi-Z... This performance is completely unheard of with mobile interfaces, all of which completely suck.
This would be a perfect High-End iRig type of device.
