Sorry I havent posted any updates, I had some issues with my LCD-3's and have been dealing with that recently so I  haven't really had time to audition the d20. I should have my headphones back on monday and then I can start to play with the topping.

No worries! Good luck with the LCD-3's!

Just now starting to get some good time in using the D20 and I have to say that I am really impressed.

After a couple more days of listening I will give a little more detailed comparison to the HRT MSII+ and the M stage Dac.

 

After only a day I will say that the sound stage is clearly larger atleast to me, which is easy to tell and welcomed on my LCD-3's which dont have a massive sound stage to being with.

Another thing I really really was happy about due to its great pairing with the LCD's is that the mids are very clear and crisp, and that personally is my favorite part, because again mids imo are the weakest part of the lcd's.

When I listened to the same songs on the HRT MSII+ the mids were much less involving.

 

Just incase anyone asks Im using:

My pc (usb,Coax, and toslink)

Schiit Mjolnir

Audeze LCD-3

 

Thanks,

Matt

Glad to hear you got your LCD-3 back up and running!  First impressions sound great on the D20, I'm glad you're enjoying it more that the MSII+.  Any other headphone pairings?  Regardless though, if it's a clear step up, let alone on the same level, I'm definitely going to set aside some funds for a new DAC soon beerchug.gif

Hey Mattimis,

 

Did you have any time to compare the D20 to HRT MSII+ and M stage Dac ?

I was thinking to buy the D20 to replace my xonar DX as a source, but I'm concerned about the USB input of the D20 being capable of only 16bit/48khz (I could connect it using optical though, but I would prefer using USB, as its more flexible - i.e. I could connect it the a laptop).

 

How do you use the D20 in our setup (usb, optical or coax) ?

 

Thanks.

Hi, I am interested in this DAC now. After google a bit I found out this specifications and it looks like clearer than other websites stated.

 

Specifications:
 
Inputs: Optical, Co-axial and USB
Outputs: RCA L/R 2Vrms
Decoder: Texas Instruments PCM1793 + PCM1793 
Sample Rates: 
- Optical/Coaxial: 32 to 96kHz
- USB: 44.1 to 48kHz
Bit Rate: 16-24 bit
Resolution: 44.1kHz, 48kHz, 88.2kHz, 96kHz
Output impedance: 200 ohm
Opamp: Burr-Brown OPA2134
THD Distortion: 0.0013% @ 1kHz
Connectors: High quality Gold Plated RCA
AC Input Voltage: 100V-240V 50-60 cycle with power supply included
Size: 11.4cm (4.5")" x 14.3cm (5.5") x 4.4cm 1.75) (W x D x H)
Weight: 530g net
Package Contents: 1 x  Topping D20, 1 x Power Supply, manual, USB cable
 
So by reading above numbers. I assume this DAC can run 16-24 bit at 44.1 and 48Hz if you use USB connection. Not sure if I am right or wrong however I sent a message to Mattimis and wait for his clear answer. Thanks.
