Hi there- I bought this toppping dac 10 to plug into my pioneer sx1250 and then run my iPhone iTunes into the dac. Am I on the right track to get decent sound? Thank you I’m advance! I saw your vintage pioneer in the background and thought you may have the answers 😊

The best part of this unit has to be he upgradeability

You can use a special cable adapter and separate your data stream from the power. Giving you the ability to use a cleaner power source. On top of that you can roll the op-amps and dramatically improve the sound coming from this DAC

I'm going to purchase one of them, what is your advise, which one is better as a desktop dac, for regular music listening from my desktop computer?

The ‘top of the line’ xDuoo TA-30 uses the same DAC chip.

I love the sound this amp produces. Not sure if it’s the tubes or the DAC.

I feel it sounds so good, I have no real need to buy another DAC.

4:00 thanks for the review. i don't understand when you say that this DAC is usb only and the schiit is not?

[oldfatbastad]

just ordered a D10s because it works on windows 7 unlike the Modi3 which is w10/w11 only.

[salmonsandwich]

Which one do you prefer? BTO's "Not Fragile" or Yes' "Fragile"?

[dconceptsofutah]

Thanks! Can you run a self powered sub off the coax out?

[burakkarademir]

Thank you for the review. I want to use this with my marantz model 50 to listen apple music from macbookpro. Is it nice start option or do I need something better? I need some advice I think :). I just want to experience apple music's hi-res lossless music.

Do you think this will be good to use with edifier r1280dbs?

How do you test a usb in only dac with a cd? 🤨 Scratching my head....

[danbalkey]

I just don’t get it I got this to up grade my CD player only. Don’t used headphone or computer but found out can’t used this dac need something else rabbit hole again

[laika]

Why do they (Topping, in this case) go for that weird, outdated (to put it plainly) usb input. Just what the heck is that, usb B printer type? It totally puzzles me. Where do you get the appropriate cable for that? Will it work? Why not usb c and make our lives easier????

[laika]

To use a dac to feed another dac.... Hmmmm, that's kinda nonsensical
