I've replaced mine with SMSL amp.   It's not a bad unit and would make a good unit for neutral to warm speakers you want to brighten a bit. But in the end I'd call it a fairly neutral sounding amp.   Power figures are at best inflated. As I turned it up it started revealing that it was...

Oh didn't notice you said amp along with DAC.   I thought you were interested in the VX1? It's got a headphone amp and a DAC

This is the one I settled on but haven't ordered it yet: http://hifimediy.com/index.php?route=product/product&product_id=84   There is one for $60us at the same website.   Sabre chip gets pretty good reviews from people. Most like it a lot.

What those guys said you need to use the power brick. From what I read there is no reason to upgrade the power supply it puts out enough power for this amp. I had one that was 2amps more so I used it.   From what I found those Op Amps are $70us. An op amp is going to make close to zero...

The seller has a very good seller rating. I wouldn't worry about it if he has sold the most of them.

I got mine from Amazon   I updated my post, that I thought the VX1 might be a good choice for the Pioneers. And that I'd consider the extra power available in the VX1 over the TP30.

I have one to sell . . .   And I have had both.   The Topping TP30 is one of the great deals going in an amp. It has a DAC, two inputs and a good amount of power . . . I have one of the better sound chips (chip, not sound card) and the DAC in the Topping sounds better.   The VX1 gets you...

I'm having trouble getting Wasapi working with the VX1 with foobar.   I have tried setting foobar to 16/44 and realtek to 24/96 since that is what the VX1 supports   I have set both to 16/44 and both to 24/96 and I always get the error. I had it working last night for a few songs (but I...

I guess I come from a different background which is live sound and some recording. While there are different ways to set gain on the amplifier, and there are many stages in the gain chain (heehee) standard practice, but not written in stone the power amp is set to unity gain 0db input equals 0db...

I had the tp30 before the vx1. The vx1 is a definite increase in power. The tp30 was loud enough but I was finding myself having to bump my volumes up in my software player and the windows master volume. Now even with the volumes knocked back on the computer I've never gone past 12:00. It seems...

Bumppy bump: Never too late for a listening review right?     Short version. I love these, and at $65 I'm not going to cry myself to sleep when I lose them (which I have a bad habit of doing). I don't find myself wishing for better for how I use them, which is only on the go.   I mostly...

For the windows computer users: Is the VX1 showing up in the realtek sound manager app. When I had the Topping TP30 it showed up in the Sound Manager App as a topping TP30

While I haven't tried very hard and my computer is almost always on or sleeping, and/or my sub woofer is on which does not have a auto power off feature, I haven't got mine to breath either.   I'm running my VX1 with Fostex FF85WK's full range speakers in a uFonken cabinet and I'm very happy...

Your speakers will connect to the VX1 and your VX1 can connect to your computer via the USB (which will use the internal DAC) or the analog line out from your computer, in which case you would be using the digital signal processing on your laptop.   There is no line out that you can use to run...

I want to double check what you said before I order the amp because it does do this.   You are using the headphone output to drive the low-level input on your sub while using the amp stage to driver speakers?   I ask because on my TP30 the speaker output is muted when anything is plugged...

Put me down on the looking forward to listening impressions list.   Thanks for the info so far.

It's time for an audio upgrade in the office.    Currently I'm using these speakers http://goo.gl/cOqMTe and I'm ready to 'upgrade' as these have started to reveal their limitations, and I've gotten used to better sounds via earphones. (two of my phones have Wolfson DAC's), and want better...

What you guys describe for foam tips the opposite of what I want out of the VSD1. But I need to stick with them for a couple of days since my right ear is really tender from trying the different tips, and other reasons for taking them on and off.   But I know that foamies are an option for me...

I think you mentioned these above and I took quick look at them.   The price is certainly right. Can you explain what you like about them over other tips other than easy to get on. Comfort? Sound? Seal?

This is kind of a tuff thread to wade through in search results so forgive me for a quick question   I saw a mention in an early post about "fake comply tips". What are the fake ones? I saw a website saying the Original Comply tips. Is that the difference?   Related questions(s): I assume...

I wear them both ways. But over the top without the hooks is a bit annoying.  The wires don't really like to drape over the ear. With the hooks it's better but I'm always reaching up and finding the wire coming partially out of the hooks.   In general I have found a bit fit and more 'comfort'...

  Yeah it was LMUE They said an "entire replacement". I emailed them about getting a single driver and they directed me to open a support ticket, which I did, but no update to it yet so no further details.   I think I will just glue the wires over the top to my ears. Problem solved. When I...

That list starting with Metal does not describe me, add country and pop and you pretty much have what I don't listen to. But I after that I cover from solo acoustic guitar to Linkin Park and as far back as Muddy Waters/Albert King ===================================================   Sounds...

My nozzles took a pretty forceful push to get them moving. Worrying about breaking them was entering my mind but they finally moved.

This is a little easier for me to see the differences.   VSD1S ($42) - Prices from Penon Audio   Rated impedance: 32Ω+/-10% Sensitivity: ≧110dB  (at500Hz) Frequency range: 10Hz-22,000Hz Channel balance: ≤3dB (at 500Hz) Cable: 1.30m TPU  cable, 4 X 20 core  high purity silver plated wires...
