Well I couldn't resist the Amazon deal on the Beyers so ordered some.   I've now tried them against my ATs and am wondering if they need either some burn in or a better AMP.  I'm running them both through my Topping TP30 DAC/AMP and frankly the ATs have WAY more sound stage and are way more...

I have narrowed my search down to one of these amplifiers. I plan on using it in my office with some Polk audio monitor 30 or R150 speakers. Are these amps good? They do get good reviews. Does anybody know the difference between these two models? I don't need the ability to go very loud, because...

I'm after a cheap desktop setup for work, but am being a little demanding. Although using Superlux HD681 Evo's at the moment, there is a chance I will upgrade to AT or AKGs later down the line. I'm essentially after a cheap usb DAC amp combo complete with volume dial (not buttons!) suitable...

I recently bought a Topping TP30 MKII amplifier, however, there is a constant hiss on the left channel and it is very loud. I've tried different sources and moving the amp to different rooms, but the loud hissing is still present. Anyone know what is wrong?

Hey guys:   I've been pondering this for a while, but I have finally decided to invest in a good speaker set-up. I will be living in a suite-style dorm next year and have been looking to build a relatively cheap, but high fidelity system.   I am looking to pair the Pioneer SP-BS22 LR...

I got hold of a Topping TP30 - which I have been very pleased with, except that when it's running the amp "pops" twice after about 20 mins then it gets louder - I presume that this isn't just warming up/breaking in and that it's not working properly? If that's the case I need to replace, any...

Hello, I've been a long time audio enthusiast in both HT and 2 ch.  Just to preface my current stereo setup to give you an idea of what I'm running to help make me a recommendation.  I'm currently running a pair of Revel Gem's using a tube preamp.  Measured response is pretty darn flat in...

Hi there head-fiers (that doesn't sound right),   I've been lurking around this site for a good couple of years now, learning stuff and generally just drooling over some of you okes' setups. So, after many moons of wondering and deciding, I have finally made up my mind and decided to buy...

Hello everyone,   I currently own an Ultrasone HFI-580 and a fiio e17. Since my usage is desktop only I will change my e17 for a stationay solution. Could you give me some advice what Amp / Dac combination will do fine? I planned to spend around 200$ (150€). I mainly use my headphones to...

First time poster...    I am an audio newbie with very little experience in reading specs and understanding what they mean. I'm reading and trying to catch up, but was hoping to get some pointers as to whether my sought-after piece of equipment actually exists.   I will be using...

Wanting to change around my setup since my 30 year old NAD receiver is dying on me. Wondering if there is anything besides the Topping TP30 out there in the way of simple, compact, all in one and if not, is the TP30 capable of pushing my A60's and eventually (should be the same power...

I want to spend a few words about the device I bought today after thorough testing (3 hours in a silent room in the shop) against three obvious DAC/headamp combos between 500 and 700$. First let me say that before I entered the store, I didn't even know this device existed.  I went in to return...

I own a Fiio E17.     I also own a pair of Energy RC-Micro 5.1 satellite speakers which were the rears for a 5.1 speaker system.   Here's what I'd like to do.  Please advise whether it might work.   Connect the E17 to my computer.  Then, use an L7 LOD to connect the E17 to the Fiio...

I have a pair of Martin Logan speakers for L/R setup and im using an Topping TP30 amp for them. I also have an Martin Logan powered sub that I would like to add to the setup. The problem im having is that none of these small desktop amps have an sub output. I only have outputs for me speakers...

Currently available from Amazon (fulfilling for third party) for $99.99 shipped.

Hi I am new to this forum, and I love to listen music and want to enhance sound quality.   My current config: a 3.5 mm jack computer speaker connect to onboard sound, and headphone connect to speaker.     Now I am interested in Topping TP30, but have something I not know   TP30...

I recently ordered a pair of audioengine A2 and am looking into a DAC/headphone amp combo, i have read a decent amount and currently looking at the audioengine D1 and the Topping TP30.  My intended us is just listening to music through my speakers and headphones, no recording or anything fancy...

Are there any good, affordable computer speakers that are powered and include a decent DAC and a headphone out? My budget for these is $300, but I'm happy to hear about any of these that exist.   thanks.

Hello, I have a 13 year old Pioneer VSX-D557 receiver and JBL Sat 10 center and front speakers and JBL Base15.  I've had it since college, and mostly it's used for movies so we don't really hear it and it doesn't bother me.  The receiver is connected to the computer via optical toslink cable...
