Hi-Fi Stereo Sound Quality】Enjoy crisp, distortion-free Hi-Fi sound with 2 full-range dual-magnet speaker units of Nylavee computer speakers, creating remarkable, precision quality sound. The way digital can degrade sound quality is well known to Rafael Todes, as it affects his recordings of the Allegri String Quartet, in which he plays an Amati violin. In particular, loss of spacial perspectives blurs the placement of players, loss of timbral resolution lessens differences between brass and woodwind, making his Amati sound like a Yamaha synth copy, and digital glare or hardness makes gut strings sound like steel ones. These are all sensitive issues for him so he was keen to listen to these convertors, feeding his Weiss DAC202, a Music First Audio passive preamp., VAC Auricle valve power amp and B&W 802D loudspeakers. Recordings were various but included his own of the Allegri. He listened before we measured and the correlation between what he heard and what we measured is surprising. As you can see from the shorted noise floor the QA401 has at least an 8dB margin below the D10. The noise floor is at least at -117dBV A-weighted if the USB line power is good (spec RMS noise from 20 to 20 kHz is -115dBV). Since the QA401 can accept signal up to 12dBV (4VMS) the total SNR it can measure is 129dB although I lost 6dB of that since the D10 only puts out 2VRMS. Again the QA401 performance would be much better with line power and mono ADCs. Like Godot, I am waiting for Quantasylum to show up with one but it never comes. So what’s in the box? The DAC IC is the ESS ES9018K2M. Unlike the more familiar ES9018 multichannel part, ESS chips with the K2M suffix are low power two-channel parts designed mainly for mobile use. Their measured performance is not as good as the multichannel chip of the same call number. That being said, somehow Topping has achieved much better performance than is typical with the ES9018K2M. When examining the board, nothing looks very different around the DAC when compared to the lesser performers we have tested using the same chip. The D10 has high-quality opamps and power supply components but I do not see any mystery magic parts. Whatever Topping does to achieve the performance I found in the D10 is magic. We’re convinced that you likely have far more questions than just these regarding USB To SPDIF Converter Audiophile, and the only real way to satisfy your need for knowledge is to get information from as many reputable online sources as you possibly can.

This oscilloscope screen scrape shows that the D10 reconstruction filter is a linear phase FIR. It has excellent stopband rejection, as we will show below.Given the convenience of USB when using computers and networked audio players and streamers, I see no reason to use S/PDIF. You get a superior architecture with no need to get yet another dongle to create S/PDIF out of your computer.

A: SPDIF can take many forms: Digital Coax, AES/XLR, optical, i2s, and BNC seem to be the most popular. All high-quality DACS will have one or more of these ports in addition to the USB input. Q: What is the best power supply for audio converters? Even though some of the converters got equal score, it doesn't mean they sounded exactly the same. Case in point are the ORT 5 and AP1/2 converters. Both scored 95 points, and yet, they sound a bit different. Easy to Control】Turn pc speakers on/off and adjust volume smoothly with 0ne simple knob. No need to use multiple buttons or computer to adjust the volume.With the new S/PDIF Bridge from Halide Design, it is possible to get a high resolution, ultra low jitter digital audio signal straight from your computer, with a single, plug-and-play cable. I have already shared some details of my converter shootout in some other threads, most recently in State-of-the-art CD transports vs USB/SPDIF converter shootout thread, but since people kept me asking for the complete USB converter story, I promised to start a separate thread, dedicated exclusively to the USB/SPDIF converters. The Topping D10 talks directly to Windows 10 computers with the latest updates, hence my computer upgrade. It is simple to change the sample rate to a high-resolution using the Speakers Properties panel in Windows 10. LEGENDARY SOUND EXPERIENCE FROM KLIPSCH AND THX - The Klipsch ProMedia 2.1 THX Certified Speaker System pairs the legendary sound of Klipsch audio with the revolutionary THX experience, filling the room with incredible sound for gaming, movies, or music BTW - I have my eyes on the new Naim DAC which, from what I gather, uses an Audiophilleo based USB input.
